Europe to wait for Okami, reckons insider
In news that caused us to throw our heads back and howl loudly It's not the first time this has happened with one of Capcom's Wii releases -- Europe may have had only ten days to wait for Resident Evil 4, but Zack & Wiki: Quest for Barbaros' Treasure took its sweet time getting here, and only launched last week. Then again, the Wii hardly sells in Europe, does it?
Aussies, it's not confirmed, but recent history suggests you might be in the same boat. Can you feel the love? Can you?

Ugh AGAIN with the stupid release schedule for everyone outside the U.S... I'm really confused (read annoyed as hell) about this - I can understand that for different languages it takes time to translate the game content. But for English-speaking territories; UK, Aussieland; It can't take that long to work out how much more money you wanna screw out of the consumer and get it on the shelves.
What is up with this? Is there a petition somewhere to get the English version of the game released simultaneously that I can sign? Meh.

Even if I lived in the UK I don't think I would be too upset at this because I seem to have missed the fact that it had a release date at all. I had no idea when it was coming out. So, sweet. This game is a must-have.

Ok, off-topic question, whenever I use my password to post instantly rather than confirm the comment in my email, it always just says "Justin" instead of "Justin Hall" on my post. How can I fix this?

Has it been fixed? You login with the password given and can then change your name and password and picture. If it won't work send a tip to NWF or Joystiq explaining the problem and they'll help work it out.

Goddamit. I'm an Aussie - there's no way we'll get the same launch date as the US - I can't recall a game that has launched in the US and Australia at the same time while Europe gets a delay.
Europe delays are (most of the time) PAL delays.
I've never played Okami, so I'm really looking forward to this. Still, its not the end of the world...
