Harvey Birdman gets Jan. 8 court date

Last month, Capcom confirmed a delay for Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law, the debut game for Cartoon Network's courtroom comedy series. Instead of launching for the PlayStation 2, PlayStation Portable, and Wii in mid-November as originally announced, the game was being bumped back to 2008. The stated reason for the change was to avoid some of this year's cutthroat competition on game retailers' new-release shelves.

At the time, Capcom would only confirm a January release for Harvey Birdman, but today a representative nailed down the date, telling GameSpot all three versions of the legal eagle's debut digital outing would launch on January 8. Developed by High Voltage Software (Leisure Suit Larry: Magna Cum Laude, The Family Guy), Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law is rated T for Teen, and will sell for $29.99 on the PS2 and PSP and $39.99 on the Wii.
