I walked into my local GAME about fourty minutes ago.... which was nice.

Talking to the manager about May 3rd and what Nintendo have told them... he says all he has heard from the 'people above him' is that he has to wait until the end of this week to know as there is talk about a change in the release date.

All I could say was interesting.

He said that since Nintendo opened their own offices in Surrey and got rid of THEGames they have played a very cool market with gaming shops. He knew the price was 150... which was nice for me to confirm. It was that 'change of release date' that got me.

Not a delay, but changing it so it was released in April (mid-late). I have no idea if it is true. However, thats what he had heard, and he was honest with me.

Whaddya you think? Are Nintendo annoying the hell out of Microsoft or what?!

er-no

(come on come on come on April)

It's possible, but extremely unlikely. Believe it or not, they can't really just announce a date to the whole of Europe then bring it forward a month. Yeah, it could happen but May 3rd is sensible for so many reasons.

I was talkin' to some of the staff in the local games shop, today and no-one mentioned this. But I believe it is possible. Nintendo might have realised that they can get the units quicker, and so want to give Microsoft NOT such a lead on the release.
