Drone Tactics is a US release, apparently there's no EU date yet. Gamespot claims 13th May, but that's also US.

[Hammer]

It's still listed on game's website at the 8th. I'll leave it up there for now. All those dates should be EU, but then the PR website is (obviously) a bit off with this one.

I've been using Gamepress for release details, but if anyone knows any more accurate sites, I'd be grateful for links.

It's only the Wii that is 100% region locked. The lockout on the 360 is set at the discretion of the game manufacturer (not sure how many games that applies to tho).

the joys of a wii freeloader though?
