Mario Party 8 pushed to 2nd quarter

How did I know that something like this would happen. We get all this great news about Mario Party 8 yesterday. It gets me psyched for the game, something I haven’t felt for the series in awhile. Now we get the official press release from Nintendo that discusses first quarter releases, and Mario Party 8 is nowhere to be found.

I made my way over to the Nintendo press room to check the software list. The first entry in the “Q2″ heading is none other than Mario Party 8. No telling how far into 2nd quarter it has been pushed, but I wouldn’t expect it to be too dramatic. Is anyone else bummed by this?
