B) Even if the change happened in early December (and by "change" I mean "the formal announcement, and afterwards the total restructural of the development process and the management", something that isn't done in a day even in the best case, a month+ sounds far more likely), from early December to early April is 4 months. From early November to late April would be 6 months. You think that 30th of November is "one month" and April 6th is "one month". Hilarious.

So, 4 months at best, 3 months at worst (the change in development did not happen overnight). Plus the two weeks delay due to the disaster.

Excellent thought process there, champ.
Excuse me for making a small mathematical error there "Champ" the Notice came down on 12/9 announcing the new team. Either way that makes it almost 5 months to the day. Still in 5 months best we get is some re-size come on man that's not a good use of time, all they would have done in that time is change an equation or integer yeah I can do that as well, change a 1 to a 2. As far as the disaster goes for all we know development did not totally stop as Tokyo only got rolling blackouts which is where SE is. Yoshis letter only stated things would be pushed back due tot he disaster, not that development stopped.
