"Do you think nintendo will ever stop treating Europe as third class?"

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.

Doubt it...

Look at Rare games such as Perfect Dark, Banjo Tooie and Conkers BFD. All released well after the US launches...I think we waited nearly half a year for Banjo Tooie...

We will always be last for everything :(

In the past, I have been the first to mock Nintendo's terrible policy towards Europe- late releases, high prices and an attitude that we're here as a "bonus level" in the world market that can be used for fun.

However, Ninty actually seem to be caring this time. Although the games are taking a bit of a while to get here, they do so in full 60Hz optimised mode and full screen. The console is priced low- at RRP £150 (although expect £170).

If there is one problem I do have, it's that the release missed Christmas- the big selling time. But hey- if we get a good launch and optimiosed games, it's not that bad.

it's in the sr news bit, if you want to take a look. Not sure how... worthwhile it'll be, but at least it's a nice guesture : S

Didn't know about this .

I think they do, I might post something on this myself in the future

Also, since the u.k is pal(obviously) and japan and america are NTSC(wow- tell us something we don't know) it is easier and quicker for nintendo to produce consoles for both regions, and then concentrate on making the PAL version later.

Stop complaining. nintendo don't treat use as third class.

1. It's almost impossible to supply the demand of all Japan, USA and Europe, you just cannot make GC's quick enough.

2. They get more money out of USA and Japan, can't blame them for that.

3. Luigi's Mansion has been upgraded so that it is longer.

4. We get more games on release that Japan and USA.

5. All major Nintendo titles tend to get a world wide release.

6. Prices arn't incredibly infalated compared to other consoles.

My motto it just be patient, which hasn't really helped on the Gamecube front' but hey what am I gonna do?
