4th Gen Release Date Speculation

[Alex31]

There's an extract from a gaming magazine in France, and one in the UK, saying the release date is Christmas 2009.

Again, doesn't mean it's correct. Many times beforehand, such claims have been made of release dates for games, only to turn out to be false. It *could* be real, but I can't help but think it's just all too unlikely. (And again, Christmas is another generic-looking date there - and there's already conflict there - gaming magazine says Christmas, Amazon says New Years Eve).

Those are really unreliable I remember one saying Kingdom Hearts 2 was going to come out in 2004 and I waited for a long long time before it actually came out.

If it IS true (Not holding my breath though) then HG/SS Christmas 2009 would be the best Christmas ever! XD

Well if your lucky you may get it on your birthday lol but that's awesome :3

They may be unreliable, but they NEED to have it confirmed, or have a high change of it, or a suggestion from the official company to allow it to go to press or be posted on an official site by an official company, otherwise they are in breach of some of the rules of press.

check out my latest post it says its come in out the 12/31st and i have proof

dec 31st is probably when its comming according to amazon

This would be the first I've heard of it, but I doubt it. The Japanese release is September 12th, so we probably won't see HG/SS until early/mid-2010.

 

[Tanooki]

The only set official release date so far is September 12, in Japan.

I looked at the page you are referring to, and Amazon has several unreleased games listed, such as Super Mario Galaxy 2. I think the point of that is so people can pre-order them early, if they prefer.

December 31st is, more than likely, not the actual release date. I have a feeling we won't see these two games until 2010.

Someone made a thread like this yesterday. As I said its FAKE the price is wrong and its most likely going to come out February-April.

 

[K3fka]

I never would have noticed a trend like that on my own. I hope that it holds true for HG/SS!

Christmas 09 would be a miracle.
Spring 10 would be expected.

 

[bluecat]

I would be flabbergasted if they came out in December. But I think next Spring is more likely.

Can't know for sure though. If the earlier date holds true, I would think we would be hearing something official really soon. So here's to hoping! :D

I did check Amazon today and it did say Dec, 31, 2009. However it still hasnt really been confirmed by Nintendo yet so its not quite known yet whether or not its really coming out then. Its still probable that the games will come out in the early parts of 2010. However there still is a hopeful chance that New Years Eve is the actual date and if thats the case...then i'll be really glad then! :D Lets hope New Years 09 is true!

I seen that on amazon they have the english release date as December 21, 2009. They did say they wanted a qucik release

 

[bluecat]

I'd also like to point out that Amazon has had wrong release dates listed at first before (I've experienced this with some CDs and books before). They simply want to have the item up in their system so people will start pre-ordering. Or sign up for product info updates with certain items. They usually correct it later when they have more information. So I wouldn't take Amazon's word to heart just yet.

But it sure would be awesome if it turned out to be true...I hope it is. :)

Whatever date it is, it can't come fast enough.

 

[PiplupGHacker]

I kinda doubt february... thats just the common formula for the games, They always come out in late march/april. (Example: Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, Diamond, Pearl, Platinum) all games before that came out in September in north america, late march/ april in japan (get it yet?)

I seen that on amazon they have the english release date as December 21, 2009. They did say they wanted a qucik release

Uh... that'll never happen. Getting the game translated in a matter of 3 months? An impossibility, seeing how much data is in the game. I mean, All 493 pokemon are in it with new pokedex entries and kanto, and possibly even hoenn.

 

[yoshikiller995]

Yea there's a topic with this already.... I was thinking that we wont see this game in the US until around March

lets not get to ahead of are selfs i mean this could be luck or made not
