If you were looking to explore the cold, dark surface of Renegade Kid's Nintendo DS exclusive Moon this month, it looks like you're going to have to wait.
Publisher Mastiff has announced that the portable first-person shooter will now be released on January 13, 2009. Originally slated for a November 18 release, Mastiff gives no reason for the delay, but with the barrage of high-profile titles set to hit shelves this month, it's probably better Moon finds a home on shelves early next year.
To keep us interested, Mastiff has shot over a handful of teeny, tiny screens to hold us over until Moon's release next year.
Mastiff and Renegade Kid Shift Moon's Lunar Calendar, Moon Moves to January 13, 2009
San Francisco, Calif. - November 11, 2008 - Mastiff, a worldwide publisher of videogames and Renegade Kid, developer of innovative interactive software, today announced that the highly anticipated first-person shooter Moon scheduled to release for the Nintendo DS™ on November 18, 2008, will now be releasing on January 13, 2009.
Developed by Renegade Kid, Moon is a sci-fi, action-adventure title for Nintendo DS™. Moon places gamers on the cold lunar surface in the year 2058. Researchers are shocked to find a sealed, alien hatch during construction of a new lunar base, but it's a shock that soon pales in comparison to what they find beyond the hatch.
"With each passing day I see Moon grow into a darker, more heart pounding beast," said Bill Swartz, Head Woof of Mastiff. "Gamers are in for an intense experience unlike anything they've ever experienced on the DS."

THAT'S A SPACE MOON!!!
I'm glad they're doing this. If they were to release it now, it'd get lost in the sea of fall blockbuster titles."[/i]
Agreed. This is probably the main reason behind the announcement, and a little fine tuning and polish never hurts either. This is probably one of the few game delays I'm not pissed about.

I third that. I have a copy reserved, I have a queue of games to play...fine by me!
Ummm also Nick, aren't all DS screens tiny?
Looking forward so much.
This game looks very Metroid. Space theme + Isolation + Exploration. I guess we'll have to wait and see if this turns out any good.
Not sure about FPS my DS though. I hope the music is good at least. Thats one thing I loved about Mass Effect, the music really gave you that spacey museum-like feel that adds to the mood when exploring.
