"Retailers importing Nintendo products to the UK and other European territories from North America and the Far East, will no longer just be up against Nintendo's displeasure, as it was revealed that the Japanese giant has now issued offending retailers with cease and desist warnings.

Offending retailers and importers will not only be barred from importing Nintendo hardware and software - they will also be inhibited from selling Nintendo products in the future. Another way to help stop this movement of products would of course be for Nintendo to release products in Europe at the same time as they do in America and Japan, thus removing the demand that such illicit supply fulfils."

Oh for fecks sake Nintendo.

Say bye bye to CA games Afro Joe.......

It's only highstreet shops that they're gonna be stopping selling import games.

Websites will be fine.

Next Nissan will stop selling cars over here because there a Japanese company or something.

Nintendo should get their head out their but and realise that the more they struggle, the deeper up their bum they get.

I couldn't really care if CA Games stop importing. I've never used them to buy anything related to imported games. However, they do have good prices, so if they end up no longer selling Ninty stuff, AJ be very annoyed.

I think he was going for 'What?' but was so flabbagasted (bet you haven't seen that word in a while...) he couldn't spell correctly.
