Rumor: Zelda: Breath of the Wild won’t be releasing in March
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Switch, Wii U | 203 Comments
Many have hoped – and some have assumed – that The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild would be out right alongside Switch next March. Unfortunately, that may not be the case.
Emily Rogers, who has a fairly solid track record with Switch rumors, writes in a new blog post today that the new Zelda title won’t be ready for March. Rogers heard in September “that the localization for the game was becoming more work than anyone had anticipated” due to “all of the game’s text, NPCs, quests, etc.” She then received word recently that the localization was still not going as smoothly Nintendo had hoped, with one source stating that it’s very ambitious.
Dragon Ball Fusions officially bumped up to November 22 in North America
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 2 Comments
Update: Bandai Namco has just confirmed via Twitter that Dragon Ball Fusion will indeed launch on November 22 in North America – more than three weeks earlier than its original release date of December 13.
EXCITING NEWS! We are moving up the launch of DRAGON BALL Fusions (3DS) from Dec. 13 to Nov. 22! Did you pre-order your copy yet? #DBFusions pic.twitter.com/6egOapALze

Original: Something strange is going on with Dragon Ball Fusions’ North American release date. Towards the end of last week, retailers started to update their listings, indicating that the game is launching within the next few days. Amazon and GameStop are both showing November 16 – yes, this Wednesday – while GameFly has it for Friday.
Both of these dates don’t make a whole lot of sense, as Bandai Namco’s games usually ship on Tuesdays. That’s why we shrugged it off and assumed those retailers simply made an error. However, a new listing has now appeared on the 3DS eShop with a November 22 release date. It would be a Tuesday, but still earlier than the previously-announced December 13 release date.
If I had to guess, Dragon Ball Fusions isn’t heading to stores this week. I’d say the eShop’s November 22 date is much more probable. Either way, we might be seeing Fusions sooner than we originally thought.
