After being announced almost two years ago (note: two years in the game industry is roughly equivalent to 853 Earth years, or at least it feels that way) Famitsu finally managed to yank a Japanese release date for Disaster: Day of Crisis from beneath the rubble.July 3rd is the day to note down in your BFF journal, and are we relieved about that. The long stretches of silence in the build-up left us fretting about the fate of the title, but now we know: the natural-disaster-survival-me-do is definitely coming! Yaaay!
While we're on the subject of Japan and release dates, we should also mention that Famitsu has Super Mario Stadium Baseball down for a June 19th release. As someone who finds baseball to be a dense, impenetrable mystery (this could have been written for me), I'll leave it at that.

Yay! I have been waiting for Disaster: Day of Crisis ever since it was first announced that glorious E3. I hope a US release date isn't far behind.
Now that we have a release date, can we get more details on what the game actually is? :P

Really, it's pretty bad form of Chris to use the image and not link or at least credit the source of the image, which is copyrighted.

I thought it was a Dr McNinja shirt! I had trouble figuring out why it was credited to TopatoCo before I realised that Dr McNinja's merch is on that site.

According to Amazon.co.uk DDoC is released on 30th May... this year!
I'd take that with a pinch of salt however :(

Huh, i figured that game would come out of the woodwork this year, but I'd really like to know more, ESPECIALLY to know if they fixed those pretty shitty graphics they were running with the last time they unveiled some screens, almost nine months ago
However, the game itself holds great promise, i shall watch with interest
