Oops, for just one second I thought this topic might have been about 1080 Snowboarding, SSX Tricky, and Dark Summit.
Anyway, they are definitely screwing up in Japan but hopefully holiday releases can generate some more sales for them. Luckily, the US launch has much more support. Nintendo itself has spaced out its games, however, delaying SSB: Melee for two and a half weeks.
