Nintendo Moves Back, Shuffles Release Dates

Posted by Zonk on from the hope-you-weren't-waiting-for-that-zelda dept.

Press the Buttons has commentary and release dates, now that Nintendo has released their Fall release plans. Frustratingly Metroid Prime Hunters, Mario Kart DS, and Animal Crossing DS have all had their release dates moved back. From the article: " Q1 2006: Metroid Prime Hunters from Nintendo. Bad Nintendo, bad! This game has slipped down the calendar so many times it isn't even amusing anymore. First it fell from a June 2005 release down to August, then to October, and now it's dropped into next year. Here's hoping they're using this extra time to add online multiplayer support, because if not a lot of people are going to be even more disappointed."

    does anyone else think nintendo is trying to kill the DS just by continually pushing back the AAA titles? mario kart and metriod prime hunters are probally the most antcipated titles for the system yet its next year before they feel the stylus, why are they so intent on hurting themselves?

    I really don't like how this article was written. It seems as if this guy just waited for certain titles in Nintendo's list to lash out sarcasm whenever he could.

    Next time, just list them out (or /. , don't link this fool) - there's no need to judge games by their titles or dismiss them with cheap one-liners.

    We read this for information, not to sit here and bear an idiot try to earn cheap laughs. Where is the praise? We don't care what doesn't interest you. We don't care what games you would rather not review in the future. We care about what Nintendo has in store in the future, not what failures may come along the way.
