Disaster: Day of Crisis Dated for Japan

Sep. 5 10:12 AM by Alicia Ashby

The situation with Disaster: Day of Crisis grows increasingly bizarre. Hot on the heels of the announcement of an October 24th European release date out of nowhere, word hits of a Japanese release set for September 25th. WTF, just three weeks from now? The game's going to end up on Japanese shelves with almost no marketing whatsoever given that kind of timetable. Is Nintendo just trying to get a bad game out the door in as much of a low-key fashion as possible?

At this point, we really should have heard something about a North American release from somebody. Is it even coming out here? There's a growing number of games that see Japanese and European releases while skipping over America completely, like Tingle's Rosy-Colored Rupeeland. Is Disaster: Day of Crisis going to be another one? Here's hoping Nintendo of America drops some sort of information for us, ASAP, or it may time for Disaster's fans to learn how Wii importing works.
