Meh. Like I said, I expect that with Nintendo, a delayed game means it can get extra polish.

Hmm... Good news maybe? I was thinking of how I could juggle my time between MHTri and SMG2 on May 23+ while managing to get some sleep. Maybe between May 23 and August 31 I can eliminate one of them.

Delayed the better. I kinda of expected Metroid: Other M to be delayed because I was thinking of when Ninja Gaiden for the xbox was delayed.

Well, at least this gives me more time to clean out my backlog a little bit. Also catch up on other games I haven't bought and played yet.

The bad news is that I wanted to play Metroid Other M before College starts again but the good news is that now I an spent my money on SMG 2, MH Tri, and maybe Trauma Team and Fragile Dreams.

Plus, Sin and Punishment 2 is still coming out in the summer.

Sonicplys

likewise, and that seems like august has been the release window for the most of the recent metroid games as well so im not too surprised. I would have liked to see it come out on time but im fine with them spreading out the releases since theres so many other titles i now have a chance to play. And its kinda cool that it comes out the day after my birthday.

The delay isn't so bad. The reasoning makes sense. They wanted people to enjoy SMG2 and S&P2. I thought the games were being released too soon next to each other.

I don't think so after this delay. I think this is either giving mario more time or replacing zelda in the second half of the year

I highly doubt that Zelda will come out this year now and I'm not too sad on the delay They probably will add more and polish the title.

I completely agree. 3 big titles altogether may affect the sales of each other.

"The launch date for Metroid: Other M has shifted to Aug. 31. As you may know, this game is the product of a unique partnership between longtime Metroid producer Yoshio Sakamoto, Team Ninja and many other individuals and groups, all of whom have set very high standards for this latest installment in the series. Although it's taking slightly longer than expected to complete the project, we're confident that fans will find it to be well worth the wait. We're striving to provide the best possible pacing for our summer game launches. A June 27 launch allows gamers to enjoy Sin & Punishment: Star Successor without having to rush through Super Mario Galaxy 2 (May 23)." - Nintendo statement --- From here

I was planning on waiting a month or two before I picked up Other M, so this doesn't bother me... I still need to finish MPT anyway. And I don't really know anything about Sin & Punishment so I have no idea whether I'll be getting that anyway so this news doesn't bother me really. My summer looks set to be a binge of SMG2, MPT and then if I get round to it I'll try beating No More Heroes and Okami.

Metroid is not a holiday title, its releasing in August, a summer month. Zelda andMario are holiday titles. Since Mario is coming out in May, Zelda is definately Nintendo's holiday title this year.

Why? Nintendo never seems to put anything good in there. For me the Wii Shop has been a major disappointment.

I'm cool with it. More time to make the game even better. Also, it wasn't too good an idea to have Mario Galaxy 2 and Other M releasing so close together.

While I am not a student of delayed=better school but its only 2 months, not a big deal. Anyway this gen people should be accustomed to delays, half the games scheduled for 2009 still haven't come out lol.

At least now Sin and Punishment 2 won't go completely unnoticed between both of those flagship titles.

So they finally figured out that releasing three kick-ass games in one and a half months time was not such a good idea.

I can live with this.

That's fine. I'm still working on Metroid Prime 2 on the Trilogy disc. Metroid: Other M can wait, especially if the delay makes it a better quality game.

hehe itskind of funny that nobody's upset. This delay is good for me cause I'll have more time to finish MH3 and SMG2 and maybe LOZ:TP in preparation for the new one.

? Im upset boo Nintendo..I dislike delays ...plus I usually juggle/play around 3 games at the same time anyway...even if it was release on the original date, you still have time to play/pace yourself anyway..I don't understand why ppl say they feel rushed??..
