It was an odd E3 to see Nintendo more on-the-ball than they have ever been in such a long time. Reading an article at Computerandvideogames.com about the Nintendo conference made me proud to be a Nintendo fan. And even more perculiar was Nintendo's attitude to the European market at E3. In a brief talk with that ol' dog Satoru Iwata (head of Nintendo you know) he revealed that Metroid Prime: Echoes would not see a worldwide release this year. You can guess what that means, but wait, the area that won't be recieving the game is in fact the Japanese market.
"I feel we (Nintendo) have been a bit cruel to the European market, we tried negotiating a Christmas release of Resident Evil 4 but Capcom were adament it was not possible. So we're going to make sure Metroid Prime 2 will reach European shores, even if it means delaying the Japanese release. We also feel that Animal Crossing is now worthwhile to release in the vacinity and is set for a September release."
Nice one guys.

I agree with capcoms desicion there. Resi 4 still needs a little more work and I would rather they touched that up than released it early just for the sake of saying they are being kind to europe. Still, its nice to see developers thinking with us in mind for once rather than being third on the list of priorities...
