Rumours have suggested Nintendo have delayed the release of Disaster: Day of Crisis due to real-life natural disasters.
According to the folk at NeoGAF, 2ch rumours have suggested that the main reason the title has seen a delay in Japan is due to the unfortunate disasters that have recently occurred in Asia and that the company would find it disrespectful to promote a game about natural disasters.
Thanks to C3 reader Echoes221 for the tip.

2ch? It doesn't sound unlikely. They've delayed/banned various games/programs in the past due to disasters, but 2ch is about as reliable as 4chan.
Could just be speculation, but if there really were disasters I'm sure that's the reason anyway.

Allright, makes sense.
They should at least wait until everything's been repaired, especially electricity.

It would sound about right really. Good on them for showing respect.

Actually, this can't be the reason. The game is probably a long way off of being completed and still quite shit so they need more time to turn it into something people are actually interested in enough to buy it.

Well, to me it makes sense, the japanese dont want to be reminded of the disasters that have/are happening. Games are usually used for escape, and if they have loast loved ones in the earthquake or any natural occurance, the last thing they want to do is to play a game that will depress them further.
That, or its very ironic that they are producing a game about natural disasters, and one just happens before launch, what would you do if you were in the production teams of that game. You would wait because otherwise you would have the worst timed video game, and the worst promotion and sales for that period.( Edited 18.05.2008 16:36 by Echoes221 )

Yeah, so not out of respect for the victims, just for better sales.
The company would find it disrepectful, lol.

Yes, but to me it seems they have taken the general populations opininons into this decision and have delayed it so it does not make them look bad and make the japanese feel worse.
Its like someone close to you getting killed with a glass bottle, then someone gives you a game of Manhumt to play...., get the gist?

Sounds quite possible. Any extra time given to it for polish can only be a good thing either way.
