European March release EXPLOSION: 65 games!
« on: February 28, 2003, 12:45:10 AM »
Since PGC ignored several requests to use my European release dates list, I'll post it on the forums every month. Although all games are confirmed, they are always subject to change of date or release altogether, due to the unpredictability at which they are published (or lack thereof) in PAL regions.

Please don't ripp off my work (instead ask halfpastred@yahoo.com), it takes a lot of time to thoroughly research a list like this. Even if setting it up is a pain, I think it's worth it in the end for the sake of clearity, take a look...

Wow, that's just plain insane. Both the amount of releases, and that you had the time to compile this list. Nice work!
Oh yeah, both WakeBoarding and Haven have both been officially cancelled.

Damn, it'd be a retailers nightmare if all these games actually do stay on their March release dates! =D

My poor wallet, i knew this month wasn't going to be great when it came to money... but oooh there are too many releases on there that i will be picking up on release day. Why couldn't one of those have been released slightly earlier. Damn bad times of years for selling games.

Thanks for the tips guys.

I hope I can get the entire list for 2003 PAL regions online soon, if I ever get the site done to upload it to.

I haven't seen RTX Red Rock in stores yet, rumour has it the Cube version was cancelled.

Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc was released in PAL regions February 21th. Yes before the US.
