Not that I really mind the delay or anything, first quarter of the year is notoriously slow for being the post-XMas hangover it typically is. At least it'll give something to look forward to in February...assuming even THAT date sticks. :|

I'm pretty sure that's why it was delayed, it'll sell a ton more in a drought when everyone is looking for that next big game.

Nah, every year we get a few big releases first quarter that failed to make last year's holiday deadline. So far we're getting Ninja Gaiden and Twin Snakes early next year, which are two of my most anticipated games in a WHILE. Second quarter is when the market is really dead.

I just think it's kinda funny how all these game mags were like, "WE PLAYED GAIDEN UNTIL THE END AND ITS GREAT!!!!" and Itagaki announced on Monday that it was 75% done :lol:
Take as long as ya need, Team Ninja. Make me proud! *sniff*

I don't know if Ninja Gaiden will be good enough to top BUTT HAT.

Nothing will EVER top BUTT HAT. That is totally my personal GOTY.

Awesome preview, lots of weapons info.

75% done doesn't mean that 75% of the levels are done.

More than likely it means that there are only 3 Titties in the game and they are having trouble rendering that fourth.

Plus, Team Ninja must have said it's ok for them to review this "75% done code", so i'm not buying that, that it's only "75% done". No game company lets someone review a game that still has 25% left to go.

It's not like magazines are making this stuff up... someone at Team Ninja or Tecmo told them this was the reviewable copy, so I don't really blame magazines at all. I have a feeling it's been pushed back so it dosen't have to deal with all the other holiday competition on the xbox.

damnit. I wanted it for Christmas!!! :(

Because Grabbed by the Ghoulies is really shredding sales records.
