Disaster: Day of Crisis has long been turning into one of those games; the type that is announced with so much promise, continually disappearing off the radar and seemingly in development forever. A Japanese release date had been rumoured for this July, but now Nintendo has changed its mind and slapped a ‘To Be Announced’ label onto it instead.

The official word from Nintendo’s Japanese arm is that the development period for Disaster: Day of Crisis has been extended in order that a better quality end product can be produced. They apologise, and we think, going by the garbled Google translation, promise that that all the changes are for the better.

For the uninitiated, Disaster: Day of Crisis sees players taking control of a former member of an elite rescue task force, Ray, as he faces up against a number of natural disasters, as well as the threat of rogue commandos who are in the possession of an atomic weapon. Sounds dangerous.

Hopefully, we’ll be able to bring you some more positive news on Disaster very soon.
