After months and months of delays Disaster: Day of Crisis finally has a release date, and European gamers will be thrilled to discover that they will be getting the game before America. It is slated for a European release on October the 24th.

An American release date has not yet been announced.

Discuss in the Disaster: Day of Crisis forum

Nintendo has dated Disaster: Day of Crisis for Europe, pegging the Wii action-adventure for October 24, curing it of its previously reported "indefinitely delayed" status.

From developers Monolith Soft (Baten Kaitos, Xenosaga), Disaster puts gamers in the shoes and beard of Raymond Bryce, retired U.S. Marine and former International Rescue Team operative, as he takes on terrorist organization SURGE and various natural disasters. "What kind of natural disasters?" you've clearly asked — earthquakes, tsunamis, floods, hurricanes, with a dash of "roaring pyroclastic flow" thrown in.

Bryce will punch boxes, shoot bears and be manly as he tries to stop global destruction and rescue a brilliant but helpless woman.

No announcement yet on the stateside release date for Disaster: Day of Crisis. Nintendo of America's press site has removed all mention of the title, so we'll poke their flesh and blood resources for more details.

    I must be reading this wrong: Did Europe just get a game before the US and Japan?! Madness!

    I hope it comes out this year in the US as well because I love Monolith.

        I never said this was developed by Monolith Productions, did I? Both the Japanese and American Monolith studios have additional tags to their name, but I quite frankly don't care. I'm not going to go around saying Nintendo Co. Ltd. and I'm not going to say Monolith Soft. If you don't have the intelligence to figure out which Monolith I was obviously referring to, please do your own research and don't try to correct others.

        I think I spoke a little to soon though; Disaster just got a release date for Sept. 25 in Japan.

          Wtf You on, I just corrected you because you made a mistake. Don't go bitching because someone found a flaw in your post.

          The name of the company is MONOLITH SOFT, Soft is not there to identify which type of business it is, Its the actual name of the company, Idiot.

          Seriously, though, you know what I meant. No need to be so nit-picky. You don't see me correcting your incorrect usage the word "there" instead of "they're" in your previous post.

          Also, the full name of the American Monolith is MONOLITH PRODUCTIONS, the word "productions" doesn't identify the business type either but is the actual name of the company as well. Both companies' full names can be shortened to just "Monolith," smartass.

          This is getting ridiculously off topic, but if your want to continue some sort of grammer or word choice debate with me, I would gladly oblige.

    like all games, this game will go under the radar....No one but hungry "hardcore" gamers are going to give a damn. NO hype around this game at all.
