Looney Tunes: Acme Arsenal and Duck Amuck delayed to October 9

There’s a bit of bad news for all of you waiting for Warner Brothers Interactive Entertainment’s Looney Tunes games. It turns out that the original release date of September 18, 2007 has been scratched from the launch calendar and replaced with October 9.

Looney Tunes: Acme Arsenal and Looney Tunes: Duck Amuck were set to ship next month in North America but were delayed by the publisher for undisclosed reasons. Acme Arsenal, due out for the Nintendo Wii and the Microsoft Xbox 360 game consoles, puts players in the shoes of their favorite characters from the classic cartoon line and drops them in locales like Ancient Egypt and the World War II trenches where they’ll have to solve puzzles, perform objectives, and drive around with wacky vehicles to proceed to the next level.

Unique to the Wii version is the implementation of  gesture-based controls while the Xbox 360 iteration has the advantage of  online co-op play via the Xbox Live service.

Duck Amuck, on the other hand, goes out for the Nintendo DS and features everyone’s favorite animated duck Daffy in a game based on the classic Duck Amuck cartoon. The objective is simple: Use your stylus to drive Daffy nuts in a series of mini games that will have you thinking of clever ways to punk your rival. Like Acme Arsenal, this game was set to go out on September 18 but has been delayed to October 9.
