lol...I'm sure your editor knows the way the system works...most journalist always have something on the fire or a backup story to run in just such a situation. So if their delay caused you to miss the boat then I'm sure you'll think of something.
Perhaps an editorial about release dates would be fitting. Of course, just writing a "The Sky is Falling and Nintendo are the Cause" probably wouldn't be smart, since they're not the only ones to miss a release date here and there. Similarily a commentary on Nintendo's lack of advertising probably wouldn't do either, considering that Cassamassina already did that with Metroid.
Did you know that many mega sites and publications don't get advanced copies of games? The reason: the games are generally terrible and they don't want a bunch of bad press to kill the game. Maybe this is just such a game. On the other hand I saw the boys at IGN wearing the helmets that they got from the Batallion Wars swag bag, so maybe you're just not in the loop.
But really...do you think being a week late on a review is going to hurt anything. You could always review Zack and Wiki.
