Maybe Rare and Nintendo intentionally give false release dates so that when it gets "delayed" Nintendo fans go "Don't worry! It's for the better! They are delaying it to improve upon the game!" when it really wasn't gonna be ready to be released there in the first place
Anyways... this is kinda good news and kinda bad news... on one hand, SFA is one of my most wanted games... and now I have to wait longer to get it... on the other hand, it gives me one less thing to buy in that time period and maybe (if it doesn't also get delayed) makes it more likely that I'll actually buy ED...
