Here are GameTrailers extended interview with Reggie. Geoff Keighley asked Reggie numerous questions we all want to know, but Reggie dodges most of them.  Reggie states what Nintendo announced at E3 is all that will be announced this year.  So no surprises Reggie?  I’ll keep my fingers crossed.

“Every time you go through localization you then have to put it through a test, which involves making sure that you recorded the proper voice, and that the proper voice is being activated with the proper trigger, at the proper time… so it’s not just a case of swapping over some words, it requires some proper extra development processes. And so it takes time. I realize that from time to time we have still been disappointing some people, but in general we have also been able to bring to them games which would have never been available before in a European market, and the time frame is slowly decreasing, so I’m positive for the future. We know that we are still not reaching the expectations of all the people, but we’re really doing our best to resolve this.” - Nintendo’s Laurent Fischer

For you in Europe, are you happy with this explanation? I am not sure if I would be.

We have already seen the press release. Now we get to put a face to the name. Lee Martin of Houma, from Lousiana, has one 37″ LCD TV, a check for $5000,  all Wii titles available, a Wii console, and the bragging rights to say that he is the best Brawler. I think a Congrats is in order.

This video only has a 30 second piece on Brawl, but hey it has Jessica Chobot in it. In my defense of not just lusting after Jessica, it is a pretty good tip.
