Feel free to cancel those June poop-socking plans, Nintendo fans. The publisher has announced that two key June releases have been pushed back. The Treasure-developed rail shooter Sin & Punishment: Star Successor is now slated for release on June 27th instead of its original early June date. Team Ninja's Metroid: Other M is now months outside of its original slated release. Expect it August 31st release as opposed to June 27th -- S&P's new date.
It takes a lot of voodoo juice and money to hand out tissues via the Internet, so you'll have to excuse us for not helping you in this time of great need. If it's any help, we (including even the mighty Aaron Linde) know how you feel. There, there.

I think it might be time to get a Wii.
And let's be honest, if you buy to own (as opposed to buy to trade) games, like I do, there are only so many games you are buying at any given time. There are awesome games I wanted to get, but I just never got around to it because I bought other things and were playing them. Pushing this off to late summer means that I am more than likely picking them both up when they come out (since there is less competition).
Also, if a game needs to be delayed to make it *right* (particularly with a Wii game, since there isn't the same patching available), I am all for it. There were brilliant games that were rushed and wound up being less than brilliant.
I'm glad Metroid was delayed, because it has a better chance of me purchasing it in late August than in late June, when my wallet will have been hit by things.
Sorry, but from what I've seen of this game, I'm not running out to buy it. It'll be a solid rental for sure, but nothing more.
And this is coming from a Metroid fan.
Virtual console is awesome, if you don't know about emulators or how to use them. Just sayin'.
It must try harder
Where are torch and pitchfork?!?
@mrfrostynova: You, of course, are referring to the Awesome Pants of Holy Awesomeness, right? If it's like the original one (but with a more sensible control mapping), it will make a lot of people very happy. Not everyone's bag, but like Muramasa, Castle Shikagami 3, or No More Heroes, its both a different type of game than the mainstream, yet really hardcore and (according to what as been said re: the Japanese release) really good.
But also BAD, because now the entire summer is basically covered in games I need to play, so I can't now get them all out of the way at once.
