Opoona gets delayed in Japan, US release still unknown

The few unfortunate RPG addicts in Japan who only own Wiis were probably eagerly looking forward to Opoona's release on September 27, desperately holding out for an original RPG on a system devoid of such content. They're going to have to go back to Shiren the Wanderer or Breath of Fire II on the Virtual Console for a while, because the game's been delayed until November 1st. Maybe work on Opoona is taking a back seat now that Artepiazza is working on those Dragon Quest remakes for DS.

A delay on this game is bad news for everyone-- the Japanese audience doesn't get the game until the holiday rush, and we have to wait even longer for it to be localized. That is, if Koei decides to localize it.
