I know, it sucks balls, my friend has been anticipating this game forever, its been on his mind for months, like me and twilight princess before its release. I know how it feels when your favorite game series, makes a great game, than delays it. Japan is getting it Jan 24, lets hope we get it before than (although its unlikely). Also on nintendo.com, i think they made a typo, they wrote release date Dec 3 and # of Players To be determined. Weird, if nintendo has any smarts (which we all know they do) than they will end up trying to release this bad boy before christmas.
