QuoteUS: TBA 2007
Japan: December 31, 2007
Europe: August, 2007

Okay, USA gets it some time in 2007, as expected. Japan gets it December 31 2007, okay... and Europe gets it 4 months BEFORE Japan??? What on earth is going on here? IGN, you need to see a, doctor quick! Europe gets it before Japan? That's just plain absurd!

But if Europe gets it before the US to, I think someone will be paying an extra whatever to get it shipped here to the US. I MUST HAVE THAT GAME! IT LOOKS LIKE... LIKE... THE ULTIMIT MARIO GAME! NO... THE ULTIMATE PLATFORM GAME!

Seriously though, what's going on IGN?

IGN may be smoking some crack. They are the only major gaming site with any release dates listed at all.

Ooo. Axe Shower Gel.

I agree with Perseid except that it's probably more like LSD (and you don't smoke crack). Then again, if it is true, which would make no sense, but for some strange reason if it were true at least it would be in English before Japanese.

Yes I definitely think that's a major screwup on IGN's behalf. Or it could just be a joke.

Gleasonator · June 15, 2007, 02:33:11 AM

Or maybe it's because Japan is in a different time-zone as us. Yeah, that's it.

uzumakishade · June 15, 2007, 02:40:01 PM

its happened with other games before, but i do think its a screw up considering its a mario game after all

Carnivean · June 17, 2007, 09:53:30 AM

Well, look at Strikers? It's possible.

Exactly! Every other site says that their is NO realise date yet aside from "Some time in 2007" Which isn't very helpful to someone who is in love with this platform-space-mario-flying-revalutionary-amazing-thing-of-some-sort.

Yeah, but that's soccer. Europeans have an orgasm over anything related to soccer so it makes sense that Strikers would come out there first. Metal gear Solid 2 came out in the US before Japan and Konami said it was because the original was actually more popular in the US than in Japan. So it does happen under certain circumstances. Mario is not one of those circumstances.

You should always take release dates with a grain of salt unless they come straight from the game maker's mouth. Except if its Valve Software.

Mota · June 29, 2007, 11:41:26 AM

Clearly IGNs release dates are bull. Always have been. We Europeans always get screwed with release dates unless the game has a UK developer.

I think Perseid was right on the money actually. And unfortunately people DO smoke it, try working in rehab a while and you see a lot of it

Actually it's called FOOTBALL

And there's a good number of us Europeans that think it's rubbish

That's not true, nintendo has occasionally thrown Europeans a bone. Europe was the first country to get Minish Cap... Or at least beat the states in getting it.

Japan got it first, as always.

Occasionally is the word... we get everything else 6 months-1 year behind the US, if they bother to release it in Europe at all. Have a look at gamefaqs's release schedule and pity us poor European folk... it sucks
