Confirmed: Harvey Birdman delayed [update]

by David Hinkle { Oct 22nd 2007 at 12:00PM }

Aspiring winged lawyers undertaking ridiculous cases at an equally-ridiculous law firm will have to sit patiently, as the rumored delay is a rumor no longer. Confirming our fears in a post at the Capcom forums, Senior director of strategy Sven states that the delay is intentional on Capcom's part and the title is already finished.

So, why would Capcom knowingly delay the game? Competition. Sven says "The game is and has been finished, submitted and approved, however we felt releasing the game on the same day 112 other SKUs released was not ideal for its chances. Retail buyers agreed." Sadly, Sven doesn't say when the new release date is, ~~so keep an eye on Wii Fanboy for word as it hits~~ but 1UP is reporting the title's new release window is January 2008.

Smart move for a potentially popular game, to avoid the Super Mario Galaxy release.

Delayed release? Ha, ha!... Impotence.

On another note, I'm somewhat thankful for the delay because of all the games coming out for other systems.

Ha ha.. body in a wood chipper. Serisouly I am so looking forward to this game. I can't wait to buy it, and this is coming from someone who will be purchasing Mass Effect, COD4, SSB:Brawl, Galazy, etc. I just simply can't wait, it'll be a refreshing and humorous change from the norm. William Street for the win. I just hope the Deadly Duplicator makes an apperance. Lewis Black makes me cream in my pants.
