I hate Nintendo, i really do. It's there own fault that import shops are importing USA/JAP gamecube games because the release dates for Europe are crap. I'm still a fan of nintendo games but we all must admit that they have made themselves come last in the console war! I'm sorry but i probably won't buy the new console in 2005 if there treating us PAL gamers like this. Why the hell should we give them our hard earned cash and make them get even more money when they don't actaully care about their customers??? it's all MONEY MONEY MONEY with them ain't it?? If they shut down Goblindirect before i get my MARIO GOLF and F-ZERO nintendo of Europe and 'Shelly Friend' more like 'Shelly fricking Enemy' will be seeing my fist and a war that doesn't involve Sony or Microsoft.....

What's the best place to buy JAP games from?? www.Lik-Sang.com?? These cannot be shut down can they??? I will buy my USA games from importmadness in the future...... It seems like every import shop in the UK will be gone soon. Happy now Nintendo?? Well the people what make your money aren't, so your profits will soon decrease, gutted.

(I don't know if i'll get over this, give me sometime :) )

It doesn't give accurate figues as to how well Nintendo are doing in each area, and therefore, it makes it difficult to see what real problems each area is facing making it harder to resolve.

I think Nintendo should concentrate more on the games than the arguing about imports, but I can see their reasons behind it.

It's really stupid. Sure the sales in Europe are going to go down, however the sales in Japan and USA are going to go up. What's their problem, they still sell the same amount, therefore they still get just as much money!

The only way Ninty can stop this is by releasing games in Europe at the same time rather than 5 months later.

Sigh.

Nintendo want to sell their consoles etc, Is this the way of doing it?
No.

They need to focus more on advertising etc, They are just being petty about this import business.
