Now i'm thinking they are rushing it. But we should be seeing gameplay vids soon, so we can judge.

So much for thinking they would release in Europe first. V_V

Anyway this whole thing's strange. It sure seems they're somehow rushing it.

Rushing it? Hasn't it been announced since 2006? It better be damn good.toadster101

We need more info on it before they release it. I really think they are rushing it.

TERRORISM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wheres America?

Nintendo likes to give info within weeks of releases now, just like they did with Wario Land: Shake it. I personally am not very hyped for this game.

I prefer it this way.

Scenario 1: "Hey, here's all the info on this game we've been making and the best news is that you'll be able to buy it in a month!"

Scenario 2: "Hey, here's the name of a game we're making at the moment. We can't tell you anything about it now because it won't be finished for 3 years but we'll drip feed you info on it over that time so you can get super hyped over it until the reviews come out........in 3 years time."

I know which one I'd choose.

Good point.

Does anyone else think that it wil sell so poorly in Japan.

well gameplay videos should be comming up in a little. this game better be good.

well people say you shouldn't hype gaymes so maybe three weeks is enough time to hype a game

Wow.....no love for the US? :|TwilightSoilder

I dont think it will do all that well in Japan, its doesnt really have that appeal that the japanese market desires. Its sort of like Metroid it may turn out to be a great game but they still wont buy it. So springing the release date on Japan may actually work better than allowing to see how americanized the game is and automatically deciding against it. So while I think they are rushing it to retail which could indicate bad things, I dont think development was rushed as the game was announced in May 2006 over 2 years ago, and they probaly were working on it before then.

But something else to take into account is that Nintendo did buy Monolith and i dont think that the first game out from a new acquisition will be bad. Sort of like what happened with Rare and Retro, but hey we'll know soon enough.

Sometimes even if its been announced awhile ago doesn't mean that development has been very progressive,, this games looks rushed to me unless they surprise me.

Am I the only one who isn't too excited about this game:?

looks like it isn't going to live up to expectations. I wouldn't mind being wrong though:D

I really don't see the rushing it thing. Or how it could fail to live up to expectations. Have you seen the board for it? Its pathetic, there aren't that many people that are aware of it, even amoung people who follow games. That being said, we're in the dark almost as much as the average consumer, which kind of puts everyone on even ground here. Corruption wasn't advertised all that well up till its release.

On top of all of this, Monolith is a quality developer, Baten Kaitos and Xenosaga have both been solid game series.

Exactly, although I would like them to give us at least some info on the game and some gameplay, now that they've announced it's coming out in like a month and a half where I live.

It feels like they rush it... then again they did say they did not want to build hype for games because it ruins the suprise and fun. Maybe they are really starting to do that now.

The game has been in development since before E3 2006 that is nearly 3 years ago, if that is a rush I would hate to see how long it would take if they took their time. They are sort of sneaking it into stores, maybe they don't want to overshadow things like Animal Crossing since they hyped that so much. But like its been said I have faith based on the developers track record, and the track record of 2nd party devs work under Nintendo (Rare & Retro)

Noo I was hoping it would be released in Europe first

Still I hope it does well
