That really sucks about the delay. But it's only a month...
Also Japanese magazine Famitsu, has given Brawl a perfect 40/40 review score!

Game was released in Japan finally, got my hands on a copy, along with "Wii Family Ski", and with each copy had a notice sheet attached, about what to do for possible disc errors and how to update your Wii.
haven't put it in the machine yet. I think I will go do that now.

It really is. They claim that this is really the heaviest Wii disc to date, saying they are using the full dual-layer capacity for the game, and there have been troubles of older Wii players in Japan. They say it's mostly from dusty or dirty drives, but I don't know. I haven't had any problems yet, But Nintendo is willing to have your Wii checked out and cleaned for free in Japan right now.
As for the game itself, I've gotten most of the characters now, only missing the last 2. I'm almost finished with the Adventure mode. The last 20% of the Adventure mode is in a Zelda-style dungeon layout and it's quite easy to get lost.... luckily I found the map button....
You're in for a treat in March when it comes around to the United States.
Oh, and the Wi-Fi, or as I call it, Wii-Fii, is occasionally choppy at times, but quite fun on random battles. Too bad they didn't have that on Mario Strikers....

Not really a spoiler, but Pikmin and Olimar is one of my least favorite to use.
His weapon is using the Pikmin he has, but if you lose them, Olimar is completely useless. Seriously, he can't attack at all without them.
EDIT: Ah... I should've read the instructions on Olimars moves.... by pressing B or 1, you can get more Pikmins after you lose them.

I like the adventure mode. You need to use every character so it gives good practice for the players. I personally like the adventure mode, but I don't know how much fun I'll have once I finish it....
But then again, beating it gives you the final hidden character.....
Unless of course you're willing to play 450 brawls and getting the same character that way....

Nintendo is going to be having a few SSBB tournaments.
REDMOND, Wash., Feb. 14 /PRNewswire/ — Attention all Smash fans: Put up your dukes! Just before the launch of the much-anticipated Super Smash Bros.(R) Brawl, Mario(TM) and friends are hosting four regional Wii(TM) tournaments. The competitions will visit Los Angeles, San Francisco, Boston and finally New York for a Midnight Madness Launch event at the Best Buy store at 622 Broadway in New York. All of the 256 participants at each location will receive a $10 Best Buy gift card. One lucky grand prize winner will receive a custom-designed, crystal-covered Wii, a home theater system from Best Buy and other prizes.
“Super Smash Bros. is one of the world’s most popular game franchises because it draws in characters from across the Nintendo universe and beyond for some all-out fighting fun,” said Cammie Dunaway, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of sales & marketing. “Super Smash Bros. Brawl has extreme appeal among our core audience, but these tournaments are a great way to get new fans involved as well — before the game is even available in stores.”
Each regional tournament will provide the first 256 people in attendance the chance to “brawl” one-on-one with other contestants in a single-elimination tournament to determine a winner in each market. Regional winners will face off in a final multiplayer “brawl” at the New York City tournament.
The grand prize winner will receive a crystal-coated Wii with a design from Super Smash Bros. Brawl, a home theater system from Best Buy and a copy of the game. The second-place finisher will receive one Wii system and Wii Remote, one copy of Super Smash Bros. Brawl and a $1,000 Best Buy gift card. The third-place finisher will receive a Wii and Wii Remote, a copy of the game
and a $500 Best Buy gift card. The fourth-place finisher will receive a Wii, an extra Wii Remote, a copy of the game and a $250 Best Buy gift card. For more information about the tournaments, visit Nintendo.com.
The tournaments will take place at the following times and locations:
Feb. 16
Doors open at 3 p.m.
Orpheum Theater
842 S. Broadway
Los Angeles, CA 90014
Feb. 23

Super Smash Bros. Brawl features dozens of Nintendo characters, from Mario to Link(TM) to Pikachu(R), as well as new characters like Solid Snake, a gritty soldier from Konami’s hugely popular Metal Gear series, and Sonic The Hedgehog. The combat-filled game lets characters of all kinds brawl until only one is left standing. Its predecessor, Super Smash Bros.(R) Melee, was the best-selling game of all time for Nintendo GameCube(TM). Super Smash Bros. Brawl has more characters, more features and more action-packed fun. What’s more, Super Smash Bros. Brawl uses Nintendo(R) Wi-Fi Connection, which allows up to four players to simultaneously brawl no matter where they are based.
