It seems like there's no particular hurry or eagerness to get it over on either Nintendo or Tecmo's part.

According to rumor, the story goes
Nintendo: This game has too many bugs, fix it if you want a western release.
Tecmo: No u.
Nintendo: No u.
Both: Ahh fuck it.

Yet somehow Donkey Kong Barrel Blast and a billion knock off broken games got published. Go figure.

About IGN, it's just wishful thinking on their part. A lot of titles that will never see the light of day are going to be tagged TBA 2009. When the new year hits, they'll all get rolled over to TBA 2010.

Yeah Ninty has allowed some amazing piles of shit to get the quality seal.

I have the imported version, and it looks really cool, but I can't speak a lick of japanese sadly.

Yeah it is pretty sad. My Japanese is decent though, so I could probably understand a lot if I import it. I just have to many games to play, to do so.

If they don't update it for an out of japan release(bug fixes, flash light control with IR,) then I'm not going to buy it anyways, but then it'd cost them more money and might not have good returns since we don't know how well it'd sell in the PAL and US regions looking at past sales figures for the series, we are fucked either way really since it's standard marketing decision.

Didn't they also put Kingdom Hearts III as a TBA Wii game? I think I'll wait to hear about it from more official sources.

I'm waiting for the fan translation that's in the works, since I've modded my Wii anyways to play Disaster: Day of Crisis.

I'm waiting for the translation as well.  It's looking like it'll probably be done around September?  If that's the case that's a perfect time to play it after Cursed Mountain's release and before Shattered Memories and Ju-On.  Although I'm not sure if I'll be able to afford that many games in such a short timespan, damn.

Oh btw how is Disaster anyway? 

Disaster is a really good game. Between 7 and 8 out of 10. I liked it SO MUCH.

I give Disaster a 10 of 10. (But this is my pure subjective oppinion.)
