They're not waiting for Terminal 5, I was photographed and fingerprinted like a criminal today on my way home from a meeting in Hamburg, via Heathrow Terminal 1. I wasn't happy, why should I as a UK passport holder have my fingerprints taken? It's a police state.
I'm not sure what part of Europe you're in, but Zelda was a launch title here in the UK and Mario Galaxy isn't out anywhere never mind Europe.
Nintendo still have plenty of sales in Europe too, it's just frustrating that we have to wait so long. I hope Mario Galaxy gets a near simultaneous worldwide release but I doubt it.
DS anyone? That's a bit of innovation that's doing very nicely just now. If it was a peripheral manufacturer like Logitech making the controller, with no definite developer support, it would probably bomb However since Nintendo will also develop their own software specifically for this controller from their back catalogue of gaming IPs and also the new ideas they keep bringing (eg Electroplankton, Nintendogs), the controller will be much more successful. Nintendo still have enough clout within the industry with publishers and developers for them to make software for it too. I'm sure there are many creative teams out there dying to try something new, and Sony and Microsoft aren't providing it.
I'd buy a redesigned DS if I thought it was an improvement, only so my girlfriend can have the old one to play Nintendogs! Buying that might have been a mistake!
If I don't like the new one I'll buy the old design one, since they'll be sold off cheaply.
