It’s official — the wait for Samus Aran’s 2D-3D hybrid outing has inched closer to the end of summer. In a statement released today, Nintendo confirmed that Wii titles Metroid Other M and Sin and Punishment Star Successor have been pushed back to June 27 and August 31 respectively. Hardly surprising, considering delays are a thing of second nature when it comes to the house of Mario.

The confirmation echoes a rumor that cropped up earlier this week by way of retail listings. Look below for the full statement.
