A shame, but I prefer it having as much polish as possible to getting it a few months earlier.

If that was the case, it would be delayed in Japan as well. This is sad news as Europe also has The Wonderful 101 delayed Smilie

When is it coming out in Japan? I heard nothing about the Japanese release date and I can't read what the Japanese Nintendo Direct had next to 2013.

its even worse when there is no source to check, but a statement from a second or maybe even third news party with a bonus text advertising the game...

its probably just delayed in japan as well. or it might simply be a case of european department needing more time to come up with typical brilliant advertising. Or they need more time explaining the game to 'reggie' who made himself famous by acting tough in the video game industry. Which is a feat in itself, looking at the average E3 visitor. fantastic value, fun for the whole family, paradigm shift.

really, the game will be brilliant. another one of miayamoto at his best-san. just alittle longer... :-Smilie

You are not alone. I am here with you. Though we're far apart...you're always in my heart. Love u!

I'm okay with waiting. It gives me more time to play Pik 1 and 2.
