Japan Earthquake and Tsunami Causes Delays and Cancellations

Before we get into detail, we at Gamerzitch would like to send our condolences to the people of Japan who have suffered and have lost their lives after an earthquake and tsunami hit the Land of the Rising Sun. Now, you have a phone right? Do Japan a favor and text REDCROSS to 90999 to donate just a mere $10 to help out.

With many of the well-known developers located in Japan, it was expected to have game delays after the massive tsunami. One thing that some may have been caught off guard was the fact that there even was a cancellation.

First off, the few games that got delayed (as far as we know at least) were Motostorm: Apocalypse, which also effected the North American release date, and Yakuza: Of the End, both having apocalyptic settings and enviroments. No dates have been set for the games yet, but there's no doubt that it will take a while since Japan is still recovering.

One cancellation that we are aware about is Disaster Report 4, a very popular game overseas that involves natural disasters.

It's unfortunate that things are happening in Japan, but having delays were inevitable and pretty much had to happen. I've seen lots of people complain if imports that they're ordering is going to be affected and just jokes that are obviously too soon. People, give Japan a break, especially during this hard time for them.
