If you’re an older Wii owner, you may have been keeping an eye on Deadly Creatures, a game that has always seemed to me like it didn’t belong on the decidedly family-friendly console (except, of course, for its motion controls). The brawler/thriller, in which you play as a tarantula and a scorpion, was originally scheduled for release on Halloween, but was pushed back to a mid-December bow.
Now, IGN is reporting that the game won’t ship until February of next year. It’s probably for the better, since gamers are surely busy with all of the great games that have come out in the past few months. More development time never hurt a game, and neither did “breathing room” in terms of a glut of games. I’m certainly still looking forward to Deadly Creatures!
But if your interest has at all been piqued by this game, be sure to check out my preview of an early build from June, and Nick’s hands-on impressions from April. There’s even more information on the Rainbow Studios-developed, THQ-published title’s official Web site.

Still looking forward to this a lot though, since it looks kick ass and I need another game to play on my Wii.
I actually don't mind that they are delaying it, I have tonnes of games to play as it is, and maybe this will mean that there will actually be a good Wii game.
