Swords & Soldiers Officially Delayed
Posted by Corbie Dillard
Swords & Soldiers, an upcoming side-scrolling real time strategy WiiWare title developed by members of the team that created the original PC version of the Wii title de Blob, has now officially been pushed back to a February 2009 release date.
Joost van Dongen of Ronimo Games has just confirmed the delay after rumblings began popping up around the internet regarding a possible delay. We can only assume that more time was needed to polish up the game and hopefully it will be time well spent once we get a chance to play the finished product.
We'll have more information on Swords & Soldiers as it becomes available, as well as a full review once the title hits the WiiWare service.

If it makes it a better game, then by all means let the game be delayed. I'd hate to see this one rushed.

I must admit that I'm a bit disappointed myself. This is one WiiWare title I'm really looking forward to.

No online.
Developers have already said it takes at least another six months to put in online.
This game is only being delayed three months and three months ago the developers of this game said No to online.
So no online.

If this came out on December like they wanted; the 19th was going to be a hectic WiiWare update, with Orbient, S&S and WoG.

AlexSays, things change. Nintendo could finally be offering better Apis, custom tools, etc.. we don't know
Although it's a far stretch it is always possible

It's not that bad if the consequence is that "Swords & Soldiers" becomes better.

Delays suck initially but they always make the game better in the long run.

So if they lied to us 3 months ago they had time to add online ?

@BDPatVCR: that's pretty intriguing, though you'd have thought they'd have said something before if there were to be WFC.
