Sadly, there is a rumor going around that two of Nintendo’s biggest releases this year – Metroid: Other M and Sin and Punishment: Star Successor – have been delayed. The Sin and Punishment sequel will allegedly be pushed back to June 27th, but Other M has been left without a specified date. According to Best Buy and Walmart listings, both titles will indeed be delayed, but nothing is official yet. We asked Nintendo if there is any truth to the speculation, though we were simply told that the company “doesn’t comment on rumors or speculation.”

HMV has listed James Bond: Bloodstone on their website, hinting that an announcement from Activision is on the way. The listing states that the game is in development for Wii, as well as the PS3 and Xbox 360. Strangely though, the title is supposedly in the racing genre. Bizarre Creations has been rumored to be developing a new James Bond project since 2008 that would mix driving elements with first-person or third-person gameplay. Might Bloodstone be that game? Only time will tell!
