Australian members?
Double barrel post.
First just wondered if any other Australians posted here.
Secondly, when do we finaly get Metroid Prime here? - I'd heard 29th Nov - I just checked at the local EB to see what the deal was, and now only Fusion is being released ob the 29th - whats the deal?
The Nintendo Australia site is saying March/April!!!! - they better be wrong as usual, or my Christmas break has just been ruined.
Cheers
(if the other board members could stop saying good things about Prime it'd be appreciated - this wait is already painful enough)

I am not from Australia but I figured I could at least give you info, Nintendo of Australia has not given an official date for Metroid yet.

ahh
I wish I could remember the source - but I was certain Nov 29th was the release date for both Prime and Fusion. I was sure Prime was given an official date.
but seeing how loosely Australian retailers keep to officail release dates, I figured, no harm in calling EB and checking if it was out or when they'd have it. They said, now only Fusion is being released now.
but then, to my horror, I found this:

Autumn here would mean March/April

I think November 29th is too early to be a valid release date for PAL Metroid Prime, going by the usual trend of a 3 month or greater gap between game coming out in the US and Japan then finally reaching PAL territories. I'd say the source of your info was off the mark by a long shot...Metroid Fusion will be out by 29/11/02, but Nintendo haven't said anything about Metroid Prime coming out around that time. I don't think we'll see it hitting Aussie shores until March 2003...PAL releases are rarely ever quick to follow NTSC releases.
