Just do it already!

Yeh, my point is Mario might not know the official release date seeing as he has nothing to do with distribution, marketting or packaging.

I can understand why its taking this long, so Ive got nothing bad to say about this game. Mario is a legend, as well as anyone else who has been associated with the game. October/November or whenever the game is officially released, lets bring it on. I cant wait.

You guys don't seem to realise that basically every game gets delayed and few have a difinitive release date until they have gone gold, which I'm presuming hasn't happened with RL yet. When it does eventually go gold, I think Mario will be able to give us a more clear date, because all of the programming will be complete and it's up to the distributers to get it out.

Can you please explain what you mean by going gold???

Going gold is when the game is complete and they produce a master copy to replicte everyones game from. It just means the game isnt far away. And all indications I have got point toward release as planned.

This means that a Gold Master has been released to the CD plant for replication. Within a few days silver proof CDs are sent from the plant to a QA group where they do a final check to ensure that no anomalies have been inadvertently introduced into the CD or the code. When the silvers are approved, then the replicater starts pressing the CDs that are then shipped to the operations plant for insertion into the final box. Once the completed package comes off of the production line, it is shipped to stores. Usually a game goes gold 3-6 weeks prior to release, so once Mario confirms RL has gone gold, he can give a more difinitive date. Until then, it's almost impossible.
