Why rush perfection?
Nintendo president Fils-Aime decided it was best to delay Metroid Prime – Corruption, so that the game will be guaranteed better than the last. Fils-Aime recently had an interview with Newsweek, where he broke the disappointing news. (Better to get it right, than to rush to launch.)
“From a sales standpoint. I think we were all happy with the product itself. Certainly it won quite a bit of critical acclaim, but the sell-through wasn’t what we wanted it to be. We want the sell-through as well as the critical acclaim for Metroid Prime 3: Corruption to be the best in the series, and that’s a lofty bar. To do that is taking a little bit more time than we had anticipated.
Let’s hope the delay will be worth, as I’m sure it will. I’m not a Metroid fan, but I’m sure this will be a must have, just as Zelda was.
