They better come up with something good, fast, or I'll end up not buying it. Barely using my Wii as it is anyway.

U-S-A! U-S-A!

In all seriousness... that really sucks for you guys across the pond. Considered moving in with you folks more than once, but with the way game companies treat you...

At first glance I thought the title read "Nintendo won't PULL out:..."

Sometimes I just happen to think nintendo hates money, I mean theirs no sound reason we can't get it with the rest of the world.

fuck nintendo it makes me want to torrent

i second necros!

fuck nintendo it makes me torrent

Should we start a 'Play USA' website to export our games to eurpoe?

Modchip here I come!

Bottom line -- if Konami can manage to release MGS4 worldwide on the same fucking day, Nintendo has no valid excuse for its bullshit.

Boggs: Haha ... you do realize I was very subtley encouraging piracy, right?

Whoa, whoa, whoa! Who said anything about piracy? I'm not trying to encourage kids to pirate games.

Just... you know. To crack open their Wiis, grab a soldering iron and install a modchip.

Under adult supervision of course.

Oh, and with the new wii hacking you should be able to play a PIRATED copy of it easily. OMG PIRACY IS WRONG!! WAHHHH!

@Jim

Ha, of course.

This shit we have to take from Nintendo has made my Wii lose a lot of love...I have 2 games to play, but my feelings are hurt and i haven't touched the damn thing in a month...

WHY NINTY, WHY?!

Once again European gamers are being treated like crap. *sigh* Let's see...

- Instead of Contra we got Probotector (I played Contra on a friends' Famiclone when I was still in preschool, so I was a little disappointed when they didn't release Contra on the European VC, even though it was to be expected)

- Super Paper Mario (it seemed cool when it came out and it got massive amounts of hype, so I bought it) released several freakin' months after the US release

- JAP Super Mario Bros. 2 (aka Lost Levels) removed completely from the EU VC catalog (It was available only for a limited time, but in the States it's there for good. What's the fucking logic behind that? What were they thinking??)

- You can't use Euros in the English mode in Brain Age II (Heh, ok, it's kinda beside the point, but still made me frustrated, since I'm Finnish and don't speak German, Spanish or whatever and don't know anything about UK Pounds)

- Capcom didn't release a ton of newer games in the Megaman -series (most of which are probably crap. Well, at least we got all the classics)


I could come up with more examples if I had the time. If they're going to delay Brawl the way they delayed Super Paper Mario, I'll be mad at Nintendo. I can understand if the game comes out like a month or so later than the US release, but a six month delay will not be acceptable.
The fact that Nintendo has released two useless channels instead of just focusing on Wiiware (or a support for 3rd party usb-drives) and a rather pointless plastic thing they call a Zapper is sorely disappointing. More delays will just make things even worse. Trust me, I'm not a Nintendo fanboy, but I hate to see the potential of the Wii getting thrown away with stupid or, as in most cases with Nintendo, simply risk-free solutions.

Ok, I got a little carried away... No wonder modding and piracy is common these days - European gamers are tired of being treated like this (it'd probably be easier just to import an NTSC Wii).

Btw, huge thanks to Jim for reporting from a Euro perspective and telling the world how much it sucks to be a gamer here. :)

All of my UK brethren here are welcome to come play at my house :)

But just because you have to wait isn't a reason to hate the game altogether, I bet you that your friend is gonna be kicking himself in the ass if he tries to force his distaste of it.

I'm happy to be in America... but my heart breaks every day for the UK gamer society.

I'm glad I pirated the Japanese version like a month ago.
