DS’ Moon launch delayed

Disappointing news for fans of the DS owners who happen to be fans of first-person shooters (FPS) – Moon hasn’t been cleared for launch. Originally, Mastiff and Renegade Kid’s new and slightly dark FPS shooter set on the moon was supposed to be shipped to stores November 18, 2008. Apparently, some unknown forces have forced the companies to revise their plans. So now, expect to see the game on January 13, 2009.

Moon is set in 2058 on the moon. While some astronauts are preparing a new lunar station called Alpha Base, a “hatch” is discovered. The player must explore the hatch and discover what is lurking within. Could it be, aliens? We’ll know January 13.

There must have been some big issue to cause such a massive delay. I mean, you’d think a company would want to make sure their game is out and ready for the December holidays. Plus, it isn’t like there are a lot of big-name DS titles coming out in December. So if Mastiff and Renegade Kid had stepped up a bit and released Moon then, they might have gotten a lot of attention.
