Maybe they are adding online play to all these delayed games. I'm sure nintendo wants to dispel those 'no-real-online-play' haters.
Then again it could be just so they have a pretty big release in the Summer.
but by increasing the sales in the summer, they're killing the sales in the spring. the time right after launch is crucial. they should be releasing as much as they can. 3rd parties will cover the holiday sales and the major games from Nintendo like MP3 and SSBB. small titles like this and Mario Stikers Charged or whatever should be out ASAP

I'm right there with you buddy! Toungue


and i am totally gonna start a drunken online clan for this reason alone Big Grin

Why else would they delay MP8 other than to add online play. I can't think of another reason.
good point. Nintendo never had issues with MP games before. hell, they released 7 in like 4 years. i'd say they're pretty efficient in releasing them

is it possible Nintendo's having more trouble designing titles for the Wii than they let on? is that why many games aren't really using the Wii-mote's full capacity and Nintendo is delaying all these titles? a thought to ponder upon

lol. i'm already starting two student organizations at school, doing home work, trying to keep up with mod duties and looking for a job. i may have to postpone this a bit
No worries mate. I was just joking around kekeke ^^
you live like 30 minutes away from me anyway. we could have our own drunken clan no problem
*ponders the idea*

but on topic (sorta): is anyone else getting suspicious of all the delays?

True that.

Topic? What topic? Oh. Right. *ahem*

Mario Party suxxx0rzxqwerty! JK! ^__^

Actually, when I posted in that one guy's thread who was asking about if it came out already or not, I thought the release date was 6/1/07.. for a while now. I didn't even realize this was new information. Toungue

I've had mine reserved at EB/GameStop for a while now, so I've been going by their dates. They've been saying June for a while I think.

Oh well, whatever. I'm not so worried about that. But if they push SMG or MP3 or AC-Wii back any further I'll be a sad panda. But that's neither here nor there.

*shakes fist at topic*

Ehh..Most times when I see games pushed back i don't really care because it's usually a game I'm not personally looking into buying...this is an exception, though ._.
I preordered mine from ToysRUs.com when they had the $30 price mistake a couple of months ago. I guess I'll know when it releases by when it shows up at my door.
Well, we won't know when games will be online untill we know when PBR comes out.
ZOMG another portalized post!

Did this one do any better than the last one I did, z6?
I was pissed at first because I have my spring break right now. But its going to be warm out soon and the ice is gonna melt, so fishing season is almost hear. So who cares about the wii then. haha

I still say that game should be named "Pokemon Battle Royale" ...

Nintendo May pull a Sony.
no one can pull a Sony like Sony
That's almost poetic...

Whenever I hear about these type of delays, I like to assume that the game will be even better. This helps me sleep at night.
It better be for online, otherwise I care not for this game.
I really wonder why this game was pushed back. It really does seem that adding online play is the only plausible answer but will have to wait and see as usual.
