I personally think that they never will.
They try to keep Japan, USA and Europe seperate so they can make money out of all three.
What do you think? leave answers please.

I think they never will. I am from the US, but I understand what you mean. Nintendo does treat us all differently and I think Europe gets treated the worst out of Japan, the US, and Europe. Just because my countrymight be the richest in the world (not bragging or anything, I think England would be a better place to live to tell you the truth) doesn't mean we should get special treatment. We should all be the same. We should have the same release days and everything. That's my opinion.
Thanks, be-z-boy. I really think what you said made sense.

Errrrr... surely the 2 are linked? It's all well and good saying all of Ninty's games come out everywhere, but when it takes AGES for them to get here, I think you'll agree that we aren't getting such a good deal.
By simply saying "Ninty games do come out in Europe" it sounds like Nintendo treats us quite well. In fact, the games get delayed, often multiple times, and often for poor reasons. Now- I think I did respond to his point, don't you?
Sonic mate, in fairness, you always write great topics, but i have

OK, so name one of the points I made that wasn't rubbish? Any single point that was rubbish. Any at all?
I think you'll find that every point I made was valid. Although one or two of them didn't directly link to what was said (like the above one), surely the whole point of chat is to bring up new points.
It like me making a topic "Sega are great coz of the Mega Drive" and then me insulting someone for saying that the Saturn was a flop because that wasn't what I was talking about! Obviously the Saturn has nothing to do with the MD, but it certainly has something to do with the topic.
Now, go and find one point that is "complete rubbish", as you put it, and not simply one that goes beyone what people are saying. Then I may begin to take you seriously.

Well, remember, the Xbox is still selling far better than the GC!

Hmmmm, It was released in the USA April 21 2000. We got it sometime in April as well, so I suppose that isnt so bad...But it was a one off in the N64s case. Look at other games such as 1080 and Excitebike. I'm sure we got Excitebike a full year after its US release...

And 1080, in PAL form (ie the SAME game we get), was out in Australia a full 6 months earier! Why??

Hmmmm, I remember reading that the reason for 1080 coming out so late here was somthin to do with the seasonal weather...somthin like a snowboarding game not selling well in Spring/Summer...
However, I think Nintendo are beginning to treat us in europe a little bit nicer.
We don't have to pay loads for the console this time round (yeah I know this is cos we are no longer using carts), Games are £10 cheaper thank god, lots of games are being produced on the console. We are getting this 60Hz mode like the dreamcast had and Improved games. Good things come to those who wait!
I think that May 3rd is a very reasonable date, and I believe that once the cube is launched in europe, that the Xbox will fail to compete and the race will be between Nintendo and Sony.
I know that Xbox in the local electronics Boutique has conked out already. They've had to switch it off cos it keeps skipping! tut tut, lol.
Now we hear that ALL Xboxs sold in Japan are being recalled cos they are scrathing all CD's placed in the tray!
Anyway, back to the point, Japan obviously get the latest products first cos Nintendo are based there. Plus everyone in japan is obsesed with the latest technology, lol.
US have a very big market for games. I think it is also very important that the cube launches alongside the Xbox in US as well. This might be a reason for choosing the US before us as well (I know that they always come out in US first). If the cube wasn't released in america at the same time, Nintendo would have lost lots of money and lots of punters!
Only 55 days to go...

I can only assume that the first 'wasn't' should have been 'was' (which doesn't help your claim that your posts always make sense!)
Anyway, the whole post was listing points that in my opinion were rubbish. 'Any at all?' You've got to be kidding!

Yeah, that was my bad. Sorry for that one.

Nintendo may be starting to realise that the UK is importat as a NIntendo UK office opened within the last year- maybe this means we will have faster access to new stuff in the future- here's hoping!
