GOOD NEWS.....
cube-Europe have just updated there Q&A and have this to say on the matter:
"I made a mistake in last weeks Q&A, to which I received a few emails, and to put things right, both American and Jap controllers work on a European GCN. "
so I'm happy they now agree.
But another thing, memory cards!
This question was placed on the new Q&A there:
"Q: why wont jap memory cards work on a uk gc?? - Nick Rowland (i'm getting annoying now!!) (so am I!-GCG)
A: Because an NTSC memory card wont be able to save a PAL game, due to different regional issues. You can get them adapted to save the game though."
Now I thought that Japanese and US memory cards were compatable with PAL cubes if they hadn't already been inserted (and formatted) by an NTSC console?
You can't save US games on a Jap formatted card and vice versa. So, won't that be the same for PAL cubes?
Am I correct?
