Ashes Cricket 2013 has been delayed
In a move that is sure to disappoint many Australians, the Ashes Cricket 2013 game, scheduled for release this week on the Wii U, has been delayed into June.
Tim Woodley, Senior Vice President of Global Brand & Marketing at 505 Games (yes, the same 505 games who brought us the bog standard port of Sniper Elite V2) had something to say about the game’s delay to Nintendo Life.
[quote]Developer, Trickstar Games has taken the time to overhaul and rebuild the game engine to offer brand new features in batting, bowling and fielding. By pushing back our release date, this gives us the opportunity to deliver a quality cricket title.[/quote]
Given that the actual Ashes starts on the 10th of July, we’re hoping the release date would be then or around then but we won’t be holding our breath. The game is developed right here in Australia, too, which is great.
We’re hoping that the Wii U version will be as fully featured as the other versions, regardless – but are you looking forward to Ashes Cricket 2013 for your Wii U?
