Quote:According to Capcom's website, the long awaited action title "Killer 7" is to get a near-simultaneous worldwide launch this summer.

Capcom are currently listing the game for release in the US on June 7th, which would normally indicate a European release sometime in Spetember. However, according to the site, the game is set to be released on the 24th of June in the European market -a scant few weeks after the US release.

Meanwhile, the Japanese release date is an unspecified "Summer" date. One would infer from this that Japanese gamers may see a slightly earlier release than the US version, or perhaps a release somewhere between the US and European versions.

If the game is to be released worldwide in such a short space of time, it would make Capcom one of the only publishers to recognise that the European market often laments the fact that we seem to get most titles months after their launch in the US and Japan. Nintendo recently remedied this by releasing the Minish Cap over here before anywhere else, but there is a great deal of ground to be made up if Europeans are ever to feel the equal of other markets.
