Nintendo has confirmed Metroid: Other M and Sin and Punishment: Star Successor for the Wii have both been delayed. Metroid is now scheduled to ship on August 31, and Sin and Punishment is now coming June 27.
Nintendo also provided an updated release schedule for its WiiWare and DSiWare titles. Photo Dojo will now be free for download from May 10 through June 10. It will cost 200 Nintendo DSi Points starting on June 11.
Metroid: Other M was originally scheduled to ship on June 27. Sin and Punishment was planned for June 7.
"The launch date for Metroid: Other M has shifted to Aug. 31. As you may know, this game is the product of a unique partnership between longtime Metroid producer Yoshio Sakamoto, Team Ninja and many other individuals and groups, all of whom have set very high standards for this latest installment in the series," Nintendo said in a statement given to IGN.
"Although it's taking slightly longer than expected to complete the project, we're confident that fans will find it to be well worth the wait."
Nintendo said the delay of Sin and Punishment 2 was due to close release date of Super Mario Galaxy 2.
"We're striving to provide the best possible pacing for our summer game launches," Nintendo added. "A June 27 launch allows gamers to enjoy Sin & Punishment: Star Successor without having to rush through Super Mario Galaxy 2 (May 23)."
