Well I've been a massive Metroid fanboy since I first playe Fusion, so yeah I'm really disappointed, especially since this is the american release date, Europeans will probably have to wait another month after the US release.

That's surprising. When they announced a date that was only a few months away, I assumed that they would be able to make it...

I hope this doesn't mean that they don't have enough for the second half of 2010... It makes me think that Zelda will be delayed.

Well Zelda does have a reputation of being delayed, so I would've expected that, but not Metroid.

That's true, although Metroid Prime 3 was also delayed quite a bit (it was supposed to be a Wii launch title).

As compensation though, they've made Photo Dojo free from May 10th to June 10th, if you didn't know that. There's also a few other delays and stuff.

Try to post a quote of the full article when posting news, it's easier than just going to the site.

Yeah I saw that on the site just now. I'll prolly play around with it for a while and then never touch it again.
And yeah next time I'll post the full article, didn't think of it this time.

Photo Dojo has gotten rather positive reviews and previews. It may not be the best fighter out there, but it's cheap and it can be quite silly fun to be able to fight your friend as yourself and with random objects. And you can't argue with a price tag of $0.

And it's only a delay.

Odds are they pushed back the dates to allow breathing room for their game sales. About a month for SMG2, a month for S&P2, and a month for Metroid: Other M.

I don't care about it being delayed, heck, this is first time i can remember Nintendo delaying something and offering a free game as compensation. If you're gonna give out the game for free for a few days fine, but call it what it is, a free game, don't call it compensation for delaying a game on a completely different system, since it wouldn't really be much compensation for people who don't even own a dsi.

This makes me sad.

I'm eagerly awaiting Other M. Sin and Punishment 2 has also been delayed. Even though I beat the Japanese version of Sin and Punishment 2, I still want to go through it in English.

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
