Who was publishing this? AIC? Conspiracy Ent.? Someone just screwed up. Fuckers. There'll never be an english-language version of Rent A Hero ever, now....

In english? AFAIK, any DC version is still the Japanese one. Unless someone's figured out how to patch the games with translations.

I found this on the AIA website.
On behalf of AIA USA, Ltd. we are regretful to say that Rent A Hero No.1 has been postponed. At this time we can not give out a definite release date. Due to the market structure AIA was unable to release Rent A Hero No.1. It is an unfortunate matter that the market has changed so drastically in such a short period of time.
We apologize to all those who were excited about Rent A Hero No.1. Again the game was not cancelled just postponed. AIA USA, Ltd. will, sometime in the near future, be releasing Rent A Hero No.1. We hope that the market will become stable enough to where small publishers like our selves will have the opportunity to bring out new and different types of games.
I wounder if that means they will release the game when their are less big releases on the X-box. Rent A hero is a niche game and would sale very little copies this fall. Let us hope for a later release.
It is Nintendo fans with attitudes like this, that makes me not want to get a Gamecube in the future, and make me think I can live without Nintendo produced games. We all know you can get almost all the3rd party on either PS2 or X-box and even some once exclusives games are leaving the Gamecube.

It was written and released to the press right at the beginning of the last Christmas crunch; I can only assume it means it would have trouble getting any distribution/shelfspace for the holidays, and therefore was pushed back until it could stand a snowball's chance of getting any visibility whatsoever.

The review code was out months earlier, but the press release declaring the game indefinitely delayed came out September 29th. It must have been a very sudden last minute decision, too -- I'd talked to AIA less than a month before and they were really optimistic and enthusiastic.
Musashi Wins!
FLAWLESS VICTOLY!
This sucks. I have the import for Dreamcast but it's very text heavy with the silly puzzles and missions. I was willing to look past the bad graphics and even a lack of analog control on the xbox version if that was how it would ship. I know it wouldn't have sold much, but a small summer release would have been appreciated for $20.
