Upon seeing the list of upcoming Nintendo Releases for next year, (posted below) and the lack of Brawl on the list. videogamer.com contacted Nintendo, and got confirmation that Europe will not be seeing Brawl until June or later.

“If the game is not listed on the schedule up until the end of Q2 it is currently not due out until after that time.”

I feel sorry for you over in Europe. Why the long wait? Japan gets Brawl in January, and the US on Feb 10th.
