Nintendo And Europe - Not Best Of Friends

Posted by simoniker on from the continent-and-big-n-the-new-odd-couple dept.

Thanks to C+VG for their report revealing that Nintendo's e-Reader device for GBA will not be released in Europe. This official confirmation from Nintendo comes after "e-Reader was [originally] confirmed for Europe back in May", and adds to the pain of European gamers still waiting for the multi-language PAL version of Animal Crossing for the GameCube, despite the fact the PAL Australian release is now announced for October, and Aussies still get the e-Reader. Why does Nintendo continue to give consumers a raw deal in Europe?

    I too am beginning to sense a pattern here. That is, you are a complete idiot and totally ignorant when it comes to 20th century world history. Europe in two world wars? At least there was a half-time called between the two. Japan was waging war from the beginning of the century right on through until the skies lit up.

    If you would note World War II for example, it is often referred to as the Allies and the Axis. Where does the Axis run? Now we're getting somewhere.

    It is simply amazing that you have heard of Marxism and the like. Now please do a google search for them and find out what those fancy words mean in the context of world events.
