The PR e-mail reads: “Release dates confirmed for CRUSH3D and Shinobi on Nintendo 3DS.” But you can’t fool a fool. The saying goes.

Both titles were initially slated for September released.
The trend seemingly is reflective of the dismal state of the 3DS library. Third-party publishers have posted delays on 3DS titles: Cave Story moved to August, the Assassins Creed 3DS title became Revelations, and the recently cancelled Mega Man Legends 3.
