Ninja Gaiden delayed

[mattgame]

I just came form IGN and they have a story that Ninja Gaiden the long awaited blockbuster from Tecmo has been delayed until February. Did anyone hear about this? I didn't see any threads about it. Anyway, it is supposedly a rumor and Tecmo will say something soon. I checked EB and they still have it for a mid December release. This annoys me so much, but there are still good games out there for the holiday season.

I hope not! I want that game sooo much... If I hear anything, ill reply again!

[Peepers]

That's too bad. But I don't even take initial release dates seriously anymore. Infact, I wouldn't be surprised if there's a (smaller) delay after this one. The only games that do meet their initial release dates are buggier than a dirty diaper at the bottom of a swamp. (Think Enter the Matrix.)

i'll be mad if its true, i cant wait to play NG, it better not be delayed

[JimmieDoogan]

Why even bother with a release date when your just going to keep pushing it back... why not go with the "When it's done" moniker... that way you can NEVER release anything and no one will care... just like Fable... or Duke Nukem Forever... You all know those games don't you? You don't... that's because they're never coming out JK... So be it I guess... But I stick by it... when it's done should be the motto for all good games.

Despite Ninja Gaiden's delay, there are tons of sweet games coming out for this holiday season...it's nice to see that additional bad ass games are soon to follow, if you ask me

[Shadow20002]

I can't wait until February, i have enough some games i want that have being delay....maybe it's the time to put the Xbox back to his box cover....

[xbox genius]

eh i'm not looking forward for ninja gaiden by this time. right now i want GTA DP and metal arms, maybe those smaller price games that one of the XBA members posted at circuit city... i'll wait for ninja gaiden to go cheap, i have a bad feeling that game will be too repititive.

[Trento52]

WTF!!! They always do this i can't believe this stupid bull sh** man i been looking forward to buying this or getting it this christmas or something why god this better be a rumor!!!

[JJaX]

Though an official announcement has yet to be made, the 'Net is swarming with rumors that Ninja Gaiden, Tecmo's highly anticipated holiday game, will not make its mid-December ship date. Instead, the game is said to come out February of next year.

But whatever, the delay doesnt bother me. Theres to many great games out, i cant keep up.

haha, aint that the truth

[BunnyRabbit]

Thats too bad because Id already had this one on my christmas list, but in a way its a good thing..Because I need to edit a few off the list anyway it will make things easier...

Now that thats out of the question for Xmas...Ill just have to reduce my list of eight games to three or so..

[Fanboy5000]

Yeah, this sucks. Gamestop called me to tell me about the delay, that **** didn't make me happy.

About release dates:
EBgames.com works tirelessly with game publishers to ensure accurate release dates
on our site. Occasionally, publishers decide to delay production to improve quality
or add new features. Sometimes dates move forward; more often they move back and
frequently they get changed more than once.

If a game is scheduled for release far in the future, the publisher may not even
give us a date. In those cases we rely on the collective wisdom of our buying staff
to estimate a date based on their knowledge of the industry and the publisher's
history.

We guarantee that we will always post the best information provided by publishers.
We know that you want that hot new game yesterday and we want to be the company
that gets it to you quicker than anyone else.

2/10/2004?!? Damn, that is pretty far for a delay. So basically we'll have two months before Halo2 comes out after that then
