Harvest Moon delayed in Japan
Quality control issues.
According to a report at Polygon, Victor Interactive's Harvest Moon: Wonderful Life for GameCube has been delayed, and is now expected to appear in Japan on September 12th. Along with its GBA cousin Friends of Mineral Town, the Cube title had previously been scheduled for release on October 18th in the US and on October 31st in Europe via Ubi Soft, but that now seems less likely. According to Victor, the delay - the third this year - is down to lingering quality control issues.
