"Nintendo UK"

Well finally after months of speculation Nintendo have officially opened their UK offices, along the Thames sit a load of offices with Nintendo people in...and although I won't be one of them for a long time yet I am damn excited...What does this mean you ask....well don't look at me I don't know but for one thing it could mean better European and UK release dates! as many of you know the Japanese have had the PS2 for almost a year and some people are only just getting theirs now! So the way we are treated isn't too pleasing to the game-a-holics of the UK but this might all stop, hopefully N:UK will be a big factor in the way things work in the UK.

As you know the GBA releases in Both the U.S and the UK have been brought forward to June and July and some president of marketting @ the new office opening says we can expect a load of GBA launch news just after Pokémon GS GBC is released in Mid April!!!

Boy this sounds good, for Big N fans anyway. I hope this office thing is just the start of more direct Nintendo involevment in the UK, if all goes to plan, my plan that is, then we should see more news and events to boost the GBA and Gamecube in the UK, and the more the merrier and plus if there is even more than the more to mkae it merrier then we might just see those PAL format games coming on the horizon a lot faster than they are now!

So Nintendo UK - Just Bring It

The Game

NOTE THQ make alot of money out of this which is disturbing when they have the Scooby doo licence!

Good point... I'd never thought about non-English translations...

Especially due to the style and presentation of a lot of the jokes in the game

You know, I'm sure that it wasn't Nintendo that got rid of THE Games, but THE Games decided not to renew their contract with Nintendo.

Something to do with the console market not being stable enough, and their parent wanted to concentrate on other aspects of the industry they're in.

Nintendo's reason for not releasing Conker in the UK themselves? Localisation issues, because it's rather text intensive.

Don't we speak a very similar language to those in the USA....

I guess we have to wait whilst they add French, German and Spanish text options.

Damn being part of Europe!

Well done THQ!!!
I am changing my mind about u, I thought you were the anti-nintendo kind, but when anuone see a good thing they buy it!!

And this exact thing happened for RE3!! Eidos did it!

:>)

I'd love to work for Nintendo....but working for Rare would be better but I have just got to polish off my Coding....!!!!! Damn. But it must be done, I will play that unseen version of Conker....oh yes I will!!!!!!! What do you think working for SR wopuld be like? Dodgy pay, ungodly hours and no free games? or Free games, just under £20K company car?.....hmmmm

The Game

Rare have made the game but if Grix is right then THQ are just distributing it cos the Nintendo-UK office ahs only just been set up and is probably not ready to distribute by itself yet.

THQ may have done something good but RAReE have made the game.

They do now, THQ are distributing it in the UK. So everybody is pleased.

Check ign.com for more details.

THQ have nothing to do with Conker

I can't believe you worked it out...
:D
