Baroque delayed until March
It seems that Baroque was always meant to be bullied by Nintendo's juggernaut, Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Originally scheduled to release on February 26th (two weeks after Brawl'sformer February 10th date), Atlus has delayed the RPG until March 18th. As you may recall, Brawl is coming out on March 9th. Will that be a long enough gap for you to stray from your darling Nintendo fighter?
The reason for the delay, according to Atlus, is that the company wants both the PS2 and Wii versions to come out at the same time. Assumedly, this means that the Wii version is holding the PS2 version up. Aside from "subtle" motion controls, the Wii version also supports 16:9 widescreen and progressive scan.
At least Atlus has a good sense of humor about the delay. From the email, the publisher states, "After we told Nintendo, they decided to move the launch of one of their lesser releases, some game called Smash Brawl, into the same month. We hope they know what they're doing."
