Crush3D’s release date has been bumped around a couple of times. It was originally on track for a February release… which became January.
It was due out today, but the game is nowhere to be seen. That’s because SEGA has secretly pushed the title back to March.
The company hasn’t provided a specific release date. It can be expected sometime in March, however.
Rhythm Thief & The Emperor’s Treasure (3DS) – 8/8/8/8
Kiki Trick (Wii) – 8/8/8/8
Beyond the Labyrinth (3DS) – 8/8/7/8
WipEout 2048 (PSVita) – 8/8/7/8
Onechanbara Z: Kagura (360) – 7/7/7/7
Let’s quickly talk about Retro Studios, shall we?
First, Eric Kozlowsky’s comment on his blog in which he said “I can’t talk about it too much but if all goes well it might just be one of my crowning achievements as an artist” apparently has nothing to do with gaming. It isn’t related to Retro or a new project.
That’s what he told his followers on Twitter before he closed his account.
Kozlowsky had left this comment on Twitter as well:
“One of my co-workers brought in EVERY season of MST3K! Crunch time is going to be WAY more tolerable this year!”
Some folks have been quick to assume that this means Retro Studios’ new title, whatever it may be, is coming this year. While it’s possible that Nintendo could publish the game in 2012, remember that some staff assisted on the development of Mario Kart 7… that may have cut into their resources a bit. Plus I’m sure Nintendo will want them to polish their new game extensively so that it reaches a high level of quality.
We’ll see what happens…
Most Nintendo fans logically assumed that the next round of Wii U news wouldn’t be revealed until E3. There’s a small glimmer of hope that new information may be provided before June, though.
According to Reggie Fils-Aime, Nintendo “will be sharing information throughout the entire year.” And although he couldn’t guarantee that an update will come before E3, it’s possible that we’ll get a few tidbits before the company’s big press conference.
Fils-Aime told Geoff Keighley at CES:
“So essentially we will be sharing information throughout the entire year. And so, I won’t say that you’re going to have to wait until E3, but certainly we’re not breaking new news here. No launch date, no launch price, no game lineup. …But we will be sharing a lot of information all through the year on how we will be driving Wii U into households this year.”
Recorded this for those of you who missed it…
