...well, I take back what I said above, then. Looks like no 3DS retail purchases until Super Mario is out, at the earliest. Perhaps Solatorobo instead...

Shinobi 11/11/11? Isn't that the day MW3 is dropping? Or Skyrim?

Nintendo goes out of its way by slowing down on their own games, to let 3rd parties actually have a chance on one of their systems, and this is the kind of shit that's being pulled? First this being delayed, and MM3 getting the axe? I'm really annoyed at how the 3DS has been handled in terms of games, it's been a huge disappointment to me, besides SSF4 and LoZ that is.

Sorry!well, in my defense, I'm used to seeing delays appear on store release lists before they're officially announced by their publishers, and the Shinobi delay did indeed show up a week or two ago.

It's a good sign though. The success of Nintendo is inversely proportional to the expectations of the videogaming community.

much wiser now, it would have crush3D at the previous release date considering it falls into the age range of most Nintendo games; however, I think Shinobi's release date is OK, not much games with blood getting released by Nintendo.
I don't get why people should get upset, it is wise decision, if it was released at the previous date it would have never sold and there would have been no sequel. Now, it is getting released at a much better time and it actually have a chance to be heard and sell. Would anyone really buy this over a Nintendo game?

I don't think anyone actually thought that. I just figured Sega couldn't be that short-sighted and: 1.) It was worded mushy and open to interpretation and 2.) It didn't make a whole lot of sense.
In hindsight, that should have been the smack in the face that it was in for another delay. Not making sense is how you need to approach Sega logic. Failure on my part. Though I do believe the games been done and even September was a "sit on it" date.
EDIT: That said, it seems they've found another dead spot in the schedule. I don't think it'll help any, but I guess it won't be any worse.

That sounds like Sega.
Skip the taste-tester period, release a DS up-port and a PSP port when Nintendo games are coming out in force

Sometimes I'm really inclined to think that there is a big latent desire of third parties to see Nintendo fail and stop making consoles. Yeah, I know logically it doesn't make any sense. It's a very persistent impression though.

Whatever one thinks of its visuals, Shinobi isn't a DS up-port. One of the Griptonite devs confirmed that in the announcement thread here.

This particular game being released at its previous date would have NOT been in favor of neither Nintendo nor 3DS adopters.Cygnus X-1 said:
it's a pretty sound decision.

in previous pages, I insisted on how idiotic they were delaying the game into the span that was hampered by Nintendo big shots.
It is quite a different decision that the one Crapcom made regarding MM:L3

Feburary is actually not a bad time for Crush3D (as much as I'm disappointed about the delay)
Shinobi is being sent to die though.
No, it's a PSP up port instead.

I did say up-port and not complete port, didn't I?
I find it absolutely bizarre that article fails to mention this AC game Griptonite did which is probably more in line with Shinobi 3DS than BloodlinesTakao said:

maybe models are up-port, but effects are wholly on another level, game is much better in motion. Not to say that it's anything above average even on 3DS, but definitely the game is not simply an up-port of a DS game.
look at effects after 1:05 and compare with fire effects of Ninja Gaiden I posted, definitely a generation leap.

I like the logic that labels Zelda as a port but games that were being specifically marketed as compilations of pre-made content aren't ports.

they made an AC game on DS which got an 8.0 by IGN and 7.0 by GS? not a bad sign, I'd never heard of the game, has anyone played it?Lijik said:

Place a title in a month overburdened with holiday hopeful hits and another one in a month to be overshadowed by bigger titles? Makes sense Sega

I understand why you'd feel RE deserved to bomb, but what about DoA? From what I've heard it was very competent.Jokeropia said:

I paid good money for this Dynex!
SEGA is a company of geniuses. Too few people having a 3DS is DEFINITELY the reason Shinobi 3DS won't sell.

Nobody buys 3DS because there's no games. Solution: release no games.
Hang on...
Just release Shinobi please, Segaaaa =0

This is Nintendo's fault for releasing an overpriced system with no worthwile launch software.

Is it? February doesn't look like too bad a date for it really. The userbase will be bigger and it doesn't look to be facing much (if any) competition. February is also typically a good month for game sales.
But yeah, Shinobi is doomed.
