I was doing my customary checking on the release date at Gamestop yesterday, and they currently have Gradius V listed as coming out in September.
SEPTEMBER?!!? The last time I checked it was listed in July! And that was after being pushed back from March!
Now I'm not sure how reliable Gamestop's info is, so I checked KoA's site and message board. No info there, unfortunately. I think I'm going to fire off an email to Konami soon to see if I can get an answer.
I can only say two things if it has been delayed until September - it had better not be delayed again, and this had better be the best damn Gradius ever, even better than Gradius Gaiden.
