Interested to hear if Capcom Europe has anythign to do with this (IE Do they know whats going on)
But that being said, Red Ant have gone into RECEIVERSHIP. This does not mean they close down - EzyDVD recently did the same thing but are still operating their businesses fine.
I doubt they would. Theres three major Capcom games due out (with a possibility of two more minor ones) in the next two months and I am sure itll bring revenue back into Red Ant.
Still, Im interested to see an official response from Capcom themselves, if any.
We are aware of the situation with Red Ant and are currently evaluating our options.
just got this email from Capcom press site
Certain recent news reports have speculated that owing to the financial status of
Red Ant, Capcom s distributor in Australia, that the release dates of Capcom s
forthcoming titles in this territory may be delayed. Capcom would like to state it
does not expect any such delays and to reconfirm the following release dates: Street
Fighter IV (PS3&360) - February 20th, Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop (Nintendo Wii)
- February 27th, Resident Evil 5 (PS3 & 360) - March 13th. Future titles such as
MotoGP (Nintendo Will) and Neopets Puzzle Adventure (DS, Wii & PC) are all scheduled
to release in line with other PAL territories.
Kind Regards
