Just look at the cheek they have Japan got the GC on Sepetmber 14th, The USA are getting it on November 18th
and when do we get it Spring 2002 and that isnt a set date so it could be delayed more. I think we should get new games a month after Japan not 7 or more months after. If you agree please post some messages

Distribution and liazing with developers. A lot of companies in general (I'm talking clothing companies, electronics people etc) have external parties doing their PR - it's perfectly normal. As it is such an important area they want experts to do it - but it's not worth hiring there own department of highly expensive PR people as they won't need them 365 days of the year - only once or twice a week to write press releases.

Cake is the name of the company that handels Ninty's PR in the UK - Nintendo don't do it themselves over here, they hire Cake to do it. They do stuff like distribute code, screen shots and press releases to the media for definite, probably have something to do with advertising too.

Give them a call if you want and ask them yourself.

You should really ring Nintendo and tell them. I'm sure the highly skilled/paid people who work out stuff like this based on the situation's full information and a knowledge of the market would be glad of your imput.

They should have at least timed it for Christmas in the UK, it will loose out to Sony now, a spring release date should not be left any longer otherwise it will fall into the summer and people won't want to play games then will they.

Playstation2 feigned a UK launch 6 months after the Japaneese one - really flow came in arounf 9/10 months later. What Nintendo are doing is totally normal - you simply can't make consoles fast enough to speed up the worldwide launch.
