Probably from the IGN guys, I think... although I'm not 100%sure about that. What I remember hearing was that gameplay wasn't very smooth and that multiplayer didn't work all that well. Delaying the release might let them polish those details up and improve the game, or it might just be to avoid the holiday rush and have less competition on release.

Ejamer, is there anything concrete you can give about those rumors? Not that I don't believe, I'd just like to read it.

If you need proof, check the Game Rankings page for Gauntlet on GBA: http://www.gamerankings.com/htmlpages4/563088.asp Granted, a new DS version should be able to avoid the mistakes made previously... but we'll just have to wait and see how good (or bad) it ends up being.

Gauntlet is a great game, but I'll be the first to admit the design is not rocket science. How can one f-up Gauntlet?! I hope not.

I didn't know they were making a Gauntlet game for the DS (awesome), but now that I know it's getting delayed (boooooo). Still, Gauntlet for the DS sounds awesome to me.
