Odama officially delayed

Odama will not be shipping in March, instead it has slipped to an April 10th US release date. Our Nintendo rep got in touch with me to give us this official statement.

“Nintendo’s highly anticipated game, Odama, is a one-of-a-kind fusion of pinball and military strategy, which takes full advantage of GameCube’s microphone peripheral. To ensure sufficient delivery of the title with its packed-in microphone, Nintendo has moved the ship date to April 10, 2006. As a central component to completing the game, the microphone allows players to order their soldiers to retreat, defend or press forward, using only voice commands.”

It isn’t a huge delay, but a delay nonetheless. Thanks to Allison for the info!
