Wii Okami bumped to April 15
GameSpot - March 3, 2008

In laying out its release lineup for the first half of the year in mid January, Nintendo gave the game's fervent following happy tidings, marking Okami for release on March 25. However, that reveal now appears to have been premature, as Capcom has today confirmed to GameSpot that Okami's prowl has been postponed three weeks to April 15.Capcom gave no explanation as to why the game was delayed.

This is still up in the air. We are still discussing with NPD how we should best handle these situations in the future.[ Admin ]bids
2@Just_Ben,
That is what I suggested, but KultofCows said that it would be rolled back and a new March future would take its place. KultofCows addressed the situation that you describe below also.[ Oracle ] [ Level 20 ] [ Rank: 294 ]bids
2@lstormy10,
No new march future, this one will just "moved" to April, meaning 9 futures in march, 11 in April. At least thats what happened in the past.[ Oracle ] [ Level 21 ] [ Rank: 112 ]bids
2@Just_Ben,
@KultofCows,
Yep, I know. I just really wanted to see how this game was going to perform and since it will most likely not make the top 10, no hard data to be had.
So what will the new March future be? Maybe a PC title such as Sins of a Solar Empire?[ Oracle ] [ Level 20 ] [ Rank: 294 ]bids
4@lstormy10,
People have been opposed to just delaying the same future to the following month because conditions for the future are different (different slate of competitors, possible different length for the retail month, etc.) In the past we have rolled back the delayed month future and issued a new future (such as in the case of Haze).[ Admin ]bids
1@Just_Ben,
This is definitely unfortunate. We will be rolling back this Future and replacing with a new March Future.[ Admin ]bids
2@lstormy10,
Well the only reason I posted this as news is because the future is gone.
Normally I would just change the Wiki Date. With such a news you can just put your money out and redirect it to other futures.[ Oracle ] [ Level 21 ] [ Rank: 112 ]bids
2@Just_Ben,
There goes our future. I wonder if NPD would allow us to only request data for 9 titles in March and carry this one's current predictions over to April and get data for 11 titles in April.[ Oracle ] [ Level 20 ] [ Rank: 294 ]bids
