Kinect Star Wars Delayed To 2012

Those of you hoping to put Kinect Star Wars on their Christmas lists, possibly along with the themed 360 and Kinect bundle, will probably be disappointed to hear that the upcoming game has been pushed back to 2012. Microsoft broke the news via the Official Xbox Magazine website today: "Microsoft and Lucasarts have elected to move the launch of Kinect Star Wars beyond holiday 2011 to ensure the full potential of this title is realised. This move applies both to the Kinect Star Wars stand-alone game and the Limited Edition Console. We will communicate additional timing information at a later date." There were complaints going around the games press from journalists in the midst of the game's showing at E3 that there was significant lag and awkward game design, so perhaps reaching the title's full potential means taking it back to the drawing board. It'll be a shame to not see a new Star Wars title on the horizon for the winter season, then (unless of course The Old Republic makes it to stores), but adding the title to the 2012 roster just amplifies the amount of major hitters on the way in the coming twelve months! So look out for Kinect Star Wars and the bundle next year.
