Instead of a <b>mid-May</b> release, the local <b>Australian</b> distributor, <a href="http://www.red-ant.com.au/">Red Ant</a> is now setting the release date for <b>June 14th</b> in <b>Australia</b>.

Australian Wii owners waiting patiently for Midway's Mortal Kombat Armageddon will have to hang out just a little longer, as the title's now been pushed back from its previously scheduled release date in early May until the 14th of June.

Red Ant, Armageddon's local distributor, cited no reason for the delay, which appears unusual given the game is merely a reworking of the original which launched on PlayStation 2 (and Xbox in North America) last year.

<a href="http://www.trmk.org/games/mortal_kombat_armageddon/">Mortal Kombat: Armageddon</a> for the <b>Nintendo Wii</b> is still on track for a <b>mid-May</b> release in all other territories.
