"What the Fuc...."

"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.......

Hahaha.

Cool.

Eh. This'll ultimately be a good thing.

I'm not bothered. Good move, I say.

One word. (Actually, less of a word, I doubt it's in the dictionary, and more of the name of a website... Oh, sorry, I'm missing my point...)

Ebay.

Probably cheaper than going to importers too, and Nintendo can't stop individuals buying games from the US (though would prolly be hard to get Jap games, as shipping & language barrier would probly be a bit of a beeatch)

Imagine the gaming giant that could spring from a merger of Nintendo's gaming prowess and Microsofts PR department.

And the new joint public enemy number one is... Nintendo!

I have a few Australian imports as well.

It doesn't bother me too much.

It's more hassle, but I can easily send money away to my g/f and have her send the game back.

So if this had been brought in earlier then I would have missed out on the greatest sports game of all time so YES I think I will continue to do it.

It's only shops, you'll still be able to import them online.

Nintendo realy know how to improve public relations.

When's it ever been illegal to buy stuff that comes from America?
Everyone does it everyday.

I saw it coming after that other site got closed down.

All that work that they put into the Freeloader and nobodies gonna buy it now!

And for the people who did buy it, what a waste of money.

Hopefully Nintendo will explain why, or someone could email them.

Well it is now considered illegal. SO DON'T DO IT!
