One of the most highly anticipated games, War God has been delayed again. Scheduled originally for a January launch the game has been will probably be released around May. War Gods is currently out in the Arcade and is said to be doing well in some areas while in others it is recieving high criticism.
The reason for the delay is that Midway wants to improve on the game so as to insure that the game sells well. Because of the low profit margin of cartridges Midway as well as many other Nintendo 64 developers want to be sure that their games are perfected so to assure that they recieve the highest possible profites for the title. Midway plans include toning down the AI in the harder setting as well as adding more moves.
While that still doesn't account for the overextended delay, hopefully the extra time Midway uses to make the game a lot better. While 4 months may be a long time to wait for this game, hopefully it will be worth it when the final product is shown.
