Now this is not all bad in fact a lot is good. Metroid Prime has been delayed till March and some of you may ask why and Belldandy will be screaming like a little boy who just got an action man for christmas. Well it is simple common sense, if the game can't be out in time for christmas then the next market to aim for is the Easter Market the second largest one and so it has been delayed a month. What is cool though is that we will get our first online game early next year! So much for not getting online till 2010 ah CUBE magazine? Sadly Wario's World has been delayed but good thing cause we know nothing about it. Nice to see three massive titles release in that time including the overally big Zelda. Q2 does look good and a squaresoft game released in the same year in europe as the japan release? Kidding right?

Exactly what I was about to say!!
And I can't think of anything-else besides 007: Nightfire and Medal of Honor: Frontline which are released within the next week-or-two.
And there's StarFox on Friday, of course.

So much for the Christmas rush then! :P

But at least we've now got the chance to catch-up with those big games we've missed-out on during the last few months with all these hot-releases we've had lately.
Resident Evil, Eternal Darkness, THPS4... at-least 3 for me!


But at least we shouldn't be complaining come summer 2003.
Zelda, Metroid, Wario World... Excellent! :)

Seen March 2003 for the US in EG magazine, so probably June or something for us.

And since when did Easter become the second largest market ? Methinks this will be news to retailers...if there is any second market in the UK then it's the start of the 6 week school holidays, and that barely counts. Christmas is the only market time that counts.

And Dringo, not that bothered about Metroid being delayed, again....

Ah well, gives me time to get round to getting master mode :^)

Odd, after a heavy pre-christmas want list, there's only zelda and smb2 that look that great. Maybe metriod too. Ah well, good for the wallet and i'm sure some other stuff will appear too.

Can't understand why Monkey Ball 2's taking so feckin long to get over here but nevermind.

Resi Evil and Metroid released on the same day.....guess I wont be getting Resi on release day then, can't be getting in the way of my Metroid Prime playing time.

Wonder what's happening to VEXX, also I read that Galleon will be released late January, be intresting to see what that turns out like.

I also want a Euro release date for Conflict Dessert Strom, I need me some more co-operative 2 player shooters. Gonna have to e-mail SCI me thinks.
