Nintendo Moves Back, Shuffles Release Dates

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."

  1. Mario Kart and Animal Crossing aren't delayed. by webrunner · · Score: 3, Informative

    A lot of the games people are calling "delays" aren't. Animal Crossing DS and Mario Kart DS did not have offical release dates until now, now they do (within the Q4 2005 timeframe that Nintendo offically stated)

    Any other release date you heard were just wild guesses (some of them were even in September and January which aren't Q4 2005)
