It was supposed to be out probably over a year ago. I'm getting more convinced that it's gonna take until next year or maybe get scrapped all together. This is getting rediculous. Any word on a release date?

Why the flosswaffles aren't we getting more updates from Nicalis?

Hopefully it won't end up becoming the next Duke Nukem Forever

I like all kinds of birds. Every thing from bird people like Janaff to those delicious hot wings. Yum!
I've been playing games since 1990. Golden Sun is great, but Fire Emblem is also good.

The game already finished, it's very hard to belive that.
the worse that could happen, is that Nintendo don't aceppt the game for some aspect of it that isn't good for wiiware architecture or rules, and it have to move to other plataform.

They have nothing more to say about the development of the game without spoil it.
Like us, they are waiting for Nintendo release the game on WiiWare, so that they can move to the "promoting" fase of the project.
(this is little based conjecture, it might be false, but it's the most plausible reason.)

I don't think so. It's already too far into development for Nintendo to simply turn it down. Maybe they had to do some last minute corrections, readjustments, etc.

I honestly have not heard why it is being delayed but after seeing the video someone provided the link for the other day, I now want to try it out firsthand.

well i said "the worse that could happen", not what is actually happening :P
But it's funny you replied "The game already finished, it's very hard to belive that.". XD
Considering the fact you mentioned the next DN Forever :P

@Mrpingguy: If the game's already finished, where is it? ;) Corbie said something about Nintendo sending it back to Nicalis because some corrections (or something like that) had to be done before it could be released.

Nicalis needs to give to give us some kind of clue of when the game is coming. They could at least tell us the month!!

If Djungelurban is wrong (which I hope he is, not that he was serious anyway =P) Then it'll probably come out around the Christmas season to maximise sales. I'unno.

It's pretty ridiculous. There's a slim chance we'll see it tomorrow, but I doubt it. :/

i am worried back in June Nintendo did say it be a summer release but it just feels like the company making it is just not reliable
