Pikmin 2 recieves huge delay... - Great Rumbler - 2nd September 2003 Quote:Pikmin 2, the sequel to Nintendo's hit simulation title Pikmin, could be in for a great big delay. The title, formerly scheduled for a "Q4 2003" release date, has been pushed to May 1, 2004, according to numerous credible electronics retailers. We all know that Nintendo delay games, but seven months?! And it isn't even that big of a game! I suppose it's possible they have something big planned for it, but marketting seems a more likely cause. IGN Cube Pikmin 2 recieves huge delay... - A Black Falcon - 2nd September 2003 Stupid marketing moves/delays... :( Pikmin 2 recieves huge delay... - OB1 - 3rd September 2003 This is very depressing. So that means that ZERO new EAD games will have been released in 2003 (I count WW as a 2002 release since it was released in Japan then). What the hell are they up to???!! Mario Kart DD is an NCL game, right? Pikmin 2 recieves huge delay... - A Black Falcon - 3rd September 2003 All the good stuff's coming for GBA... Oh, and Mario Kart and 1080 are EAD, right? Pikmin 2 recieves huge delay... - OB1 - 3rd September 2003 I know for certain that 1080 isn't, but I'm still not quite sure about Mario Kart. Pikmin 2 recieves huge delay... - The Former DMiller - 3rd September 2003 Mario Kart is from EAD. I got that information from Beth Llewelyn at Nintendo. Pikmin 2 recieves huge delay... - OB1 - 3rd September 2003 Ah, well that settles that then. So that's one EAD game this year. The biggest developer in the world is only releasing one game this year... very sad. Pikmin 2 recieves huge delay... - Great Rumbler - 3rd September 2003 So, what exactly is EAD up to? Super-secret games? N5 launch titles? Maybe...just maybe... Pikmin 2 recieves huge delay... - Private Hudson - 3rd September 2003 Bah.. This was my most anticipated GCN game.. :( Pikmin 2 recieves huge delay... - A Black Falcon - 3rd September 2003 But I thought that EAD was finishing 1080 after it was taken from the American team... no, wait. Yeah, you're right... its by the people who did Wave Race, right? Pikmin 2 recieves huge delay... - OB1 - 3rd September 2003 I think so. Pikmin 2 recieves huge delay... - The Former DMiller - 4th September 2003 Yeah, 1080 is being developed by the Wave Race team at NST. Pikmin 2 recieves huge delay... - OB1 - 4th September 2003 IGN is reporting that the delay is official: Quote:September 04, 2003 - Earlier this week we reported that Pikmin 2, the sequel to Nintendo's hit simulation title Pikmin, could be delayed into next year. Unless Nintendo delayed it so that they can implement big online support I'm going to be seriously pissed off. :( Pikmin 2 recieves huge delay... - EdenMaster - 4th September 2003 Quote:Originally posted by OB1 Online support? This is Nintendo. Don't count on it. Pikmin 2 recieves huge delay... - OB1 - 4th September 2003 Crazier things have happened! Wipeout 64 being published by Sony, Sonic on a Nintendo system, Rare going to MS... It's a crazy world! Pikmin 2 recieves huge delay... - A Black Falcon - 4th September 2003 Wipeout 64 was published by MIDWAY. It was, however, developed by Psygnosis, which at the time had been bought by Sony... how Psygnosis managed to convince Sony to let them publish, even with a different publisher, a N64 game I don't know. Maybe they hadn't been owned by Sony for long or something? Pikmin 2 recieves huge delay... - A Black Falcon - 4th September 2003 Wipeout 64 was published by MIDWAY.

Maybe they hadn't been owned by Sony for long or something? And the online support... yeah. right. It'll come out ... never... given how Nintendo hates it so much... Pikmin 2 recieves huge delay... - OB1 - 4th September 2003 I'm pretty sure that Sony published the game in Europe, but Midway might have ended up publishing it. I do know for a fact that Sony was originally going to publish the game in Europe with Psygnosis publishing it in the states, though. Pikmin 2 recieves huge delay... - A Black Falcon - 4th September 2003 When you boot the US version of the game, it is quite clear that Psygnosis is the developer and Midway the publisher. Pikmin 2 recieves huge delay... - OB1 - 4th September 2003 Yes I know that, and if you had actually read my post you would have noticed that I was referring to the European version. Pikmin 2 recieves huge delay... - A Black Falcon - 4th September 2003 Well you said Sony published it in Europe, you think, but sounded unsure... it'd be very interesting if Sony published it in Europe. I had thought that they let Psygnosis release it but wouldn't sell it themselves, like Lemmings Revolution and Rollcage II for PC... Pikmin 2 recieves huge delay... - OB1 - 4th September 2003 They were originally going to publish the game in Europe, but I left before it came out there so I'm not sure if they ended up doing it. Pikmin 2 recieves huge delay... - A Black Falcon - 5th September 2003 Ah... if they did, that'd be really odd. Who publishes on the opposing console? Pikmin 2 recieves huge delay... - OB1 - 5th September 2003 Wipeout 1 also came out for the Saturn, you know. Although I believe that was before Sony snatched up Psygnosis. Here, look. I found the news article from ign which shows that Sony was originally going to publish WO64 in Europe: Quote:September 03, 1998 - Midway Home Entertainment today announced that it has secured the publishing rights to Psygnosis' upcoming cyber racer, Wipeout 64. Pikmin 2 recieves huge delay... - A Black Falcon - 5th September 2003 All I want to know is why Sony published a game on the other console... Oh, and yeah, Wipeout 1 was before Sony bought it I am pretty sure. Pikmin 2 recieves huge delay... - OB1 - 5th September 2003 Why not publish it? The game was headed for the N64 so they might as well profit from it. Pikmin 2 recieves huge delay... - A Black Falcon - 5th September 2003 Yeah, but its on the direct competition's console, with a game in one of their console's biggest serieses! Its a bit ... odd. Even if the game IS finished. For example, I'd be stunned if Microsoft releases those PS2 and NGC copies of High Heat 2004, despite the fact that the thing is finished and well might even be printed... Pikmin 2 recieves huge delay... - OB1 - 5th September 2003 I forgot the details of why WO64 came out for the N64, but it did and Sony was able to profit from an N64 game. Pikmin 2 recieves huge delay... - A Black Falcon - 5th September 2003 More importantly, we got a great racing game... :) Pikmin 2 recieves huge delay... - lazyfatbum - 7th September 2003 Hmm. It looks like Pikmin 2 may be a launch title for Nintendo's next offering. That, or Nintendo is beefing the game up; the pictures I remember seeing for Pikmin 2 looked identicle to the first one. And online play is definately something to consider. A 24/7 planet Camp Sites Multiple Pikmin/Olimar styles Battles for Parts, Food, other camp sites Players cooperating to reach common goals There's a billion ways to play it online and it wouldn't be that much to add on in order to do so. Pikmin 2 recieves huge delay... - OB1 - 7th September 2003 Online support would make it worth the wait, but I seriously hope they don't delay it to an N5 launch. The N5 won't be out until the end of 2005, at the earliest. Pikmin 2 recieves huge delay... - A Black Falcon - 7th September 2003 Yeah, 2005 would be way too long for this game... I just really hope that this is a features delay and not one of those stupid 'the game is done but we're waiting until a schedule opening comes up' delays... :( Pikmin 2 recieves huge delay... - OB1 - 7th September 2003 The thing is that they need the game real badly this holiday season. If MGS gets delayed that means that Nintendo will have one exclusive game for the entire holiday season. I guess Nintendo really likes that number three spot. :S Pikmin 2 recieves huge delay... - A Black Falcon - 7th September 2003 Yeah, I know quality is very important, but they needed to plan better! Realize that many games are going to be delayed and do something to make it so you still have a good first/second party lineup out for the holidays... as it is it doesn't seem nearly as good as it should be for a company trying to catch up.

There's this little bit of string that's hanging off your shirt and it's really bugging me. If you don't mind could you pull it off?
