Well, having conversed (by email) with Infogrames over the last few days, they have confirmed that Shining Soul’s official release date has been pushed to March 7th. I should be receiving my review copy within the next 2 days and will get a review up ASAP. Oddly enough, it’s been reported by an SFC Forum member, Doom3000, that the game is already available in France, perhaps because Infogrames is a French company.
So much for me getting the first look, eh? 😉 *lol*
On a related note, Infogrames state that there are no current plans to localise Shining Soul II, though of course it is early days. There are to be no promotional items for Shining Soul (ie, posters, toys etc) either. Oh well!
In addition, Rei received my official Yogurt plushie today and he’s ready to send it out… apparently it’s very cute! 🙂 I also managed to pick up a bit more fabric today to continue making my Yog toy!
