Asura's Wrath Suffering a Two Week Delay in Europe

Asura's Wrath Suffering a Two Week Delay in Europe

On track for release in other regions

Written by Suyomizzle on 10 February 12 at 00:44 | Credit to Crimson Rick117

In a really unfortunate turn of events, the bombastic action game, Asura's Wrath, is being delayed two weeks in Europe, slipping from its projected February 24th release date to March 9th. Eurogamer reports that Capcom attributes the later release to "the uncertainty of the UK retail market."

For those chomping at the bit for more information on the game be sure to check out these gameplay videos and the playable demo. The game is still set for release on February 21st in North America and February 23rd in Japan.

I didn't think that GAME's financial situation would start affecting games in this way.

Nothing new here the European release dates always suffer I guess it's due to the lack of population compared to America & Japan.

I was somehow interested in this... Let's call it "weird" game. But now it's being released here after Mass Effect 3... Hmmm, I guess that means I'll maybe get it in a few months. Too bad that the UK are delaying the release for every other country in Europe :(

Yeah, GAME's situation is really dodgy at the moment. They'll only get in stock for what's been pre-ordered, so I guess just not enough people pre-ordered for Capcom to justify releasing it on it's original release date. Seems strange to think that GAME alone would have such a major effect on Capcom's decision though, there must be something else to it.

Hope they can survive.

Well thats what happens when people dont preorder though its strange to see companys basing so much of their sales on preorders alone..
But I can see this isnt going to make Asura happy and he will take out his wrath upon the gamers of Europe. That will probrably be the sequel, in arcade form of course because as interesting as this game is I can tell its not going to sell well enough for another full release just too little fanbase for a game with a cinematic gamestyle ...
Now what I want to see is a game with quick time event "looking" gameplay( that is actually gameplay) in a game thatd be awsome will still pick this one up later or rent it though too many games too little money an time

Sucks but well stupid mistake to not wait another 2 weeks after the ME3 release.
