[RUMOR] Splatoon Delayed in Europe

While I normally would post something like this in the thread for the game itself, this is a pretty big deal that I'd think would need it's own thread. An email has been sent to those in Italy and other parts of Europe who preordered the game that says it has been delayed.

I hope this isn't the case...Europe already had Kirby delayed, it would be a HUGE misstep to have only ONE first party Nintendo game released in the first half of the year in Europe, especially when the game doesn't appeal to a lot of Europe. (Mario Party 10...those games don't tend to sell well there)

I kind of wonder if in the end Splatoon will get delayed in NA too cause sometimes when one area gets delays; it effects other area's too. *shrugs* I hope it's just a rumor though. =/

Kirby never got delayed since they got a different release date. I guess the reason why the game was delayed is since NOE wants to spread out the Wii U games more.
