If you were looking forward to the PSP and Wii version of Lucha Libra:Heroes Del Ring (and I'm not 100% sure why you would be after reading Jeremy's review) you're going to have to wait until March 2011 to get your hands on the game.  No reason for the delay is specified in the press release but I'm hoping that "removing the suck from the game" and "making the game fun" are the primary reason for the delay.
