I recently started trading with an import website called TQGames.com based in Devon. I wanted the Platinum Wavebird controller and was about the buy it. I visited their site a couple of days ago and 'SHOCK HORROR' theyve had to close down!

Apparently, Nintendo and their lawyers have 'asked' them not to continue selling games / software / hardware that should not be for sale in countries other than Japan and the US!

TQ Games, quite obviously, do not have the financial backing to fight this sort of demand and therefore have had to close.

Looks like Nintendo really are cracking down on the importers!
Get these things while you can or you may be disappointed.

P.S - I got my Platinum Wavebid from Lik-Sang.com in the end, GREAT SITE!

I wonder if they'll get CA Games.

Hmm... they'd better not.

Hey, does anyone remember when Nintendo stopped CEX at the West-End from selling import Gamecubes and then about a year later, CEX sued Nintendo for raising the N64 prices and they won too.

That was a weird year.
