Disappointed with the lack of a true release date for Europe with this. Q3 is anywhere between July and September but I'm hoping Nintendo confirms rumours of a July release towards the end of March/start of April, seeing as they're only announcing dates for games a quarter in advance. Still, Sin and Punishment: Successor to the Sky and SMG2 easily fill the void before then, in May and June respectively.

Still, it's been getting good hands-on previews and I look forward to it. I'm still a little uneasy about it coming after the Prime trilogy which was fantastic but it's pairing up elements of Super Metroid and Prime so it should be great.

Happy with my US release date. The capability of switching between first-person and side-scroller just by point to the screen or not is amazing.

Using side-scroller for exploration and first-person for boss fight and critical area, looking forward to it.
