Metroid and Mario delayed until Q4 2007?

Rumors are going around that Metroid Prime 3 and Super Mario Galaxy have been delayed until the tail end of 2007. While the source is supposedly reliable, don't take this as written in stone.

We knew Mario was going to be a long time coming, but such a long delay on Metroid would be a kick in the pants.

If it is true the then the Wii might suffer the same fate as the Nintendo gamecube.

Actually, I kind of want metroid to be delayed. It'll just get better the longer they work on it. As for Mario, I don't really care. Mario's fun, but I wasn't really going to buy it anyway.

I was really hoping to buy Metroid as one of the first online games in winter/spring of '07, but if they delay it at least that should mean that Nintendo is trying to make it perfect.

Metroid was delayed for launch and they are doing it again?! I cannot believe Nintendo! The controls MUST be flawless or this game is going to be flamed and there will be no hope for FPS on the Wii.

Lozfan you're stupid, it's sold 20 million units in the first 8 and a half minutes in America.

I'd rather them get it perfect than release it prematurely (accidental sex reference?).

Crap! I was going to get Prime 3 before Brawl so once I clocked Twilight Princess I'd have something to do.

Wiiman said the accursed words: "at least". Don't anyone else say ANYTHING that begins with "at least" and talk about Brawl. In other news, I hope it's not true but I won't be surprised if it is. I still remember the countless Star Fox Adventures delays, the crappish game that it was.

C'mon! They were launch games then they were delayed until Q1 or Q2 of 07. And now this. It ticks me off.

I don't really care for Metroid. But Mario!? This has gone way too far! I say we form an angry mob! WHO'S WITH ME DOODS?

mario lover said:

NOT fair. I want Mario so bad. I think captain jamesman is right, we should form an angry mob.

It's because of these games I was going to buy Wii. Well at least I won't have to wait longer for smash bros brawl.

warrior prime said:

I wasn't going to get Mario anyway but metroid?! But random hero is right. I would way rather a perfectly polished metroid later than a bad metroid sooner.

I never played Metroid to tell the truth, it has to be good though because no one will SHUT UP about it. They're making it better. If you could last with Twilight Princess being delayed for 2 YEARS (those long, cold, two years) you can go without a Metroid.

Oh, god. Well at least brawl isn't being delayed anytime soon.

It would rock so much if the Prime 3 controls were flawless. As much as I love Halo, I would laugh my head off if Prime 3 is more intuitive than Halo 3 in the Fall. Go Nintendo!

The Wii will own the 360's and PS3's faces no matter what anyone says. Wii FTW!

I need those 2 games for my Wii! Why Nintendo why!?! Well I hope they don't delay it any more.

Uhhhhhmmmmm I'm sorry but I think that's a load of bs, Nintendo still needs to patch up from gamecube, which was good, but Nintendo will probably post Mario first at like late Q2, and it will have some crazy revolutionary blast like mario 64, and then while the awesomeness of mario is going around metroid will come out of nowhere and will also be shockingly amazing and Nintendo will take over the market. But that's just my opinion.

I think SSBB is coming out first, then Metroid with a month or two left, and Mario coming out after Christmas but before new year.

Alright, this is how it goes! 1) Metroid Prime 3: Corruption - August 27. 2) Super Mario Galaxy - November 12. 3) Super Smash Bros Brawl - December 3. All 2007 dates.

As Jason Pilcher said, we waited 2 years for Zelda so I think we can handle this.
