In some surprising and disappointing news, Capcom has announced that some of its biggest upcoming titles are getting pushed back. Lost Planet 2, Super Street Fighter IV, Dead Rising 2 and Monster Hunter Tri are all getting delayed until at least after April 1st of 2010.
As revealed in documents detailing the company’s sales forecast, 4th quarter competition is the sole reason for the delay. The move will also help “preserve the value of Capcom’s titles” and “expand the lineup of titles in the next fiscal year,” according to the documents.
This is such a big disappointment, as many of the delayed titles were must-buys for first and second quarter 2010. It has also been rumored that Super Street Fighter IV would now see an April 1st release. After all, another delay for the game would be just a cruel April Fool’s joke.
