Translation:
Exucse #1: It still isn't good enough.
Excuse #2: The first delay fucked up our release schedule.

Still, works for me. I haven't picked up NMH:DS or Red Steel  yet.

This will probably help Sin & Punishment as it gives it more time for itself.

Nintendo could promise to make StarFox Wii if people bought Sin & Punishment 2.  (then totally not deliver any StarFox)

It'd be a great Capcom-ish move.

I dont recall Nintendo giving up many "reasons" for them doing ANYTHING and additionally I believe their "reasons" never being as truthful as this......is our beloved Nintendo turning a new leaf?

Maybe they don't want to cause a 'core Nintendo fan panic' when they start seeing titles delayed all the time. Though that was never a concern for them in the past.

They only do it now because whiny ones became even more whiny.

The reason for delaying S&P2 is so obvious that I'm surprised Nintendo explained it so bluntly. What confuses me, though, is why they didn't consider its proximity to Galaxy 2 when the release dates for both games were previously announced. The only thing that has changed since then is Metroid's production delay. But wait... if Metroid is the reason S&P2 got pushed back, then Nintendo's official explanation is a complete lie.

And that's why they usually don't bother to give reasons.

Maybe pre-orders are through the roof for Galaxy 2 so it had something to do with S&P2 delay too.

The game is selling for practically $30 w/ $20 off your next purchase at Walmart & Amazon.

For once living in Europe may pay off.
