358/2 Delay- Could it mean...?

[Desert_Punk]

Apparently in the newest trailer for the game, it said the game was coming out in Spring of 09, when it was stated earlier to be releasing in Febuary.

Could this delay mean a simultaneous release or perhaps something at least relatively close (like a month or two between)?

There is already a site (even though its just a splash page) for the English release.

And with the DSi coming to the states in '09, this would be a perfect release title to accompany the revamped system.

 

[Audo]

It could, but that doesn't mean it will.

 

[Desert_Punk]

Nor am I stating that it will. Just a hypothesis.

It could also mean that they've decided to make it a DSi game, make it multi-cartridge and utilize the external storage feature to allow room for more voiced scenes, but again, doesn't mean it will.

 

[Audo]

Uh no. DSi games are limited to download content at the moment. So far, there is no such thing as a DSi-only cartridge game.

 

[Lifes.Lover]

I have absolutely no clue.

However, if I buy a stupid DS, only for there to be a bundle to come out... I will shoot myself in stupidity.

ok first i remember an article from this years jump festa i think saying spring so there. 2nd the dsi plays ds games it just has a new name and features

 

[Ultima_Weapon]

Yes, more time to save up for a DS.

We can only hope.

Like most of the other people here, I find it unlikely.
Usually when a game s delayed it's because they're tweaking some things last minute, or because things are just taking longer than expected.

But I'll be sure to buy it as soon as humanly possible while I'm here in Japan. ^_^

 

[Salty the Hero]

I hope so... The sooner it comes out, the better.

 

[ogichi/ichigo]

It's just them trying to figure out how to cram it all into a DS cartridge.
And as far as I know, it's already been released for the DS, not DSi.
There will be at the most 5 months in between the american and japanese
versions of the games, though it will most likely be less.

 

[Raz]

I honestly doubt it, really.
And the website coming up really doesn't mean much. We had the KHII website for quite a while, if I remember.

 

[Memory Master]

O'k it would only take 2-3 months between a japenese and american release. But if they did release the game in japa and NA at the same time I would be a very happy boy.

I think it has a fairly good chance of being true.

I'm surprised no one's mentioned this little lovely that we got months ago:

But the classic approach to localizing software may be on the way out. Square Enix president Yoichi Wada told Japan's Nihon Keizan Shimbun daily today that from here on out, the company will be "making simultaneous releases the norm."

*hugs GA* that's why we love you.

Well that hits hard.
Hmm.
Now I'm skeptical.

Nice post.

 

[thejoker101Death]

I would say about 2 months after Japan's release. The DSi doesn't even look that good.

 

[Zero Sora]

I hope to god you're right GA, to god, right, GA.

I seem to recall people asking about Days getting pushed back ages ago, and when I said "Knowing SE, I think it'll happen." Seems I was right. It's a shame that it did happen though.
