Unfortunately, we can no longer claim that
Mushroom Men: The Spore Wars is one of the most promising games of this fall -- not because we've changed our minds about the game or anything, but because it's no longer a
game of this fall. Gamecock announced that both the DS and Wii
Mushroom Men games have been delayed to December 2nd.
The Spore Wars was originally planned for this month, following an October release of the DS
Rise of the Fungi.Provided that
Mushroom Men actually comes out this holiday season, it could do well as the only major platformer being released on the Wii (that doesn't star a werehog). Or we could be wrong and it could be swallowed by the mass of holiday releases in general! The point is,
one of those processes will begin in
December.

It's not winter until 21 December, so it's still technically an autumn game.

You beat me to it :), so unless this is just to fill blog space :P the game is still set for fall.

A delay? What a big surprise. Even though I'm not excited for this game one bit, I was probably going to buy it if it takes at least more than 20 hours to complete and gurantees I die twice in the process. NOA is lacking titles, I'm just not happy being a Nintendo fan anymore, I need something to spark interest. I'll just import titles I'm upset have not come over here, #1 Fatal Frame #2 Day of Disaster.

Ugh. I've been waiting for this game more than any other this fall for a while now.
...but December 2? Just push it back to late January/early February. There's a reason why most big name games don't come out in December – everyone is done with their Christmas shopping already!

the new Prince of Persia comes out on that date, Unreal Tournament 3 did it last year, and even Smash Bros Melee way back in the day pulled a December release quite well

This game actually looks pretty darn good. Check out the freakin' CACTUS MAN screen shot at IGN. If it gets a good review I'm probably gonna have to shell out some money... at least after a price drop. (Unless it starts out under 49.99)
