We are hearing that a delay is in the works for both Metroid: Other M, as well as Sin and Punishment 2. Keep in mind, this is just rumor for now.

Just got an official email from work about two of Nintendo's biggest profile games of the year, Metroid: Other M and Sin & Punishment 2 being delayed. Metroid: Other M has changed from being released on 6/27 to TBD. Sin and Punishment 2 has changed from being released on 6/6 to 6/27. - Anonymous source

I'm hoping that this is just rumor or some sort of mean prank. Seeing Metroid: Other M delayed to TBA is pretty damn bad, but seeing S&P2 delayed makes no sense at all. Thanks to KingBroly for the heads up.

UPDATE - Walmart.com and Best Buy are showing altered release dates, but nothing is confirmed at this time.WWW.gonintendo.com:o

I don't believe it.

If Nintendo was not able to have it done by june, they wouldn't have told us. They would have just kept it as TBA

I hope not. But I have to say I kind of predicted a delay for Other M.

i don't believe it, but if it happens to be true, that means one less game to buy, which is actually a good thing for me, considering i have at least 10 games to be released this year that are on my "must" list :P

It might be released for Holiday, if Nintendo couldn't get Zelda to release in 2010.

Yeah, but it's neogaf, and like it or not their anonymous sources tend to be right more often than I like.

Still don't believe it either way. And even on the off chance that it is delayed, it won't be delayed by much. I'll have but plenty of titles to be stacked on.

well that would suck, im really looking forward to it and SMG2. but on the other hand, if they delay it and make it 10 times better then no problem with me. anyone remember super smash bros brawl, they delayed the release date multiple times, but they made the game alot better with the extra time.

Maybe Zelda can't be made for holiday?

Maybe Other M needs more polish?

I certianly hope it's the second of the two...

That would certainly suck, I hope that's not the case, because regardless of if Zelda was ready or not a delay would upset the release schedule.

We can hope it's a minimal delay like the rumored S&P2 delay.

There have been alot of delayed games that have come out and sucked, a delay unfortunately does not equal insta-great. Also non marketing delays shows indecisiveness with the product and that doesn't always turn out well.

By that logic, Duke Nukem Forever is going to be a life changing event when it comes out.

Well given its legendary status as "the game that will never come out", I think that's true regardless of how good it is as a video game.

If memory serves, TP was worse. Although Brawl was very bad.

It had always seemed odd to me that Nintendo would release two massive titles one after the other, so the delay makes sense even if I don't like it.

If true, at least I can save money and buy other games that are coming out in Q2 and then when I have the money, buy Other M.

You know, I don't know why but I have a gut feeling that this is ture. It's not based on anything. Just a tingling spider-sense that makes me feel this will come true. If it turns out to be then I'm sure we can only assume at least it's to further make it perfect. If it's not then hey, we get in two months!

yea same here, there are at least 4 games coming out around that time and if metroid got delayed it wouldn't bother me too much. Dont get me wrong Id love to have it come out sooner but with all the other good stuff i still have yet to get, a small break in between releases isnt too big of a deal for me since it would work out better.

Sniffle... At least this is more evidence of an HDWii! (eg, delaying them to work on HD versions)

I hope this isn't true. I was absolutely extatic that two massively high profile games were coming out during my summer vacation. All I would have to worry about is showing up to work. I'd have a lot more free time to enjoy these titles.

Kinda sucks if Sin and Punishment 2 does get delay, but I can wait for a couple more weeks.

Its not the post, its the fact that Walmart changed its release day and I doubt they did it because of a post on a message board. Typically things like that happen right before a delay is announced.

Well, it will kinda suck if Other M is delayed, but at the same time, that gives them an opportunity to better the game :)

I'm not too surprised bout that who knows it might work out for the best! Look what happened with brawl it got delayed like two times and in the end it was worth the wait. Same with Twilight Princess. I do feel kinda bad if they couldn't have get it done by june they shouldn't have said that in the first place but oh well.

Well lets not jump to conclusions yet, most places haven't changed the date so who knows. I assume we will know one way or another in the next week or so, if every place starts to change the date to some random day then we know its been delayed and probably for quite some time. If nothing changes then its a mystery as to why Walmart changed their date.

I'm going to call this a rumor for now, seeing how this is from an anonymous source. But even if Nintendo delayed it, they won't delay it to the holidays, because there is no way Metroid could compete with Halo, Natal, and the Move in the holidays. So if there is a delay, I think it would be delayed to August or July. Zelda or some Wii (insert gimmicky name here) is going to be the big holiday title from Nintendo.

Maybe they might do what they did with MP3 and just delay it a week.

I'm expecting an October-November Release like most other Metroids. Nintendo should also Remake Metroid 2: Return of Samus. That Game was awesome!!! But not as good as Super Metroid.

I agree, look at Bioshock 2
