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'm not saying liberalism or Europeans are bad (except the French of course), but Europeans tend to be very liberal and anti-convervative when it comes to make a decision. Which is usually the cause for so many arguments and disagreements between the US and Europe as well as the UN.

    Given that Nintendo is renowned for their child-friendly
    game design, and does not typically promote violence,
    perhaps they don't like the way Europe keeps sucking
    the world into total global conflict and genocide?
    Maybe they're still pissed about Marxism, or Nazism,
    or Fascism?

    Consider: Nintendo doesn't these titles in Europe,
    it is true; but neither do they sell them in
    North Korea. Nor did they sell them in Idi Amin's Uganda! I'm beginning to sense a pattern here!
