No, Kirby was clearly mentioned as second half 2015. That's more than a little infurirating and a downer for European fans. It's not as if Kirby is a localisation heavy title, there's no way it should be four, five or six months behind the North American release.

Damn it must suck to be a Nintendo fan in Europe.

Well, most of the time it's not too bad, but this is baffling. I don't mind waiting for dialogue heavy titles like Animal Crossing or Fire Emblem, but holding back Kirby by at least five months, when development must be wrapping up soon? It's insulting. It's not as if Wii U's first half is crowded with titles or content. It's not as if Wii U is selling well enough in Europe, or has a strong enough reputation, for Nintendo to hold back finished content. My major worry here is that Nintendo Europe know another first party title isn't making it to Europe in 2015, and my money would be on Xenoblade Chronicles X.

If Nintendo can localise and launch their heavy hitters within the same month or week, there's no reason why a title like Kirby should take months longer to come to Europe.
