Posted June 10, 2011 I've not checked my 3DS yet, but I'm assuming that we didn't get the trailers then? If they don't become available today then yeah, we can all forget about it I reckon. Seriously want to boycott the European eShop now, what with its inflated prices and missing content, but I know I'll crack when something like Picture Lives or Flipnote Memo goes up. God I hate NoE.

Posted June 10, 2011 I was planning on buying couple of dsware games but then decided against it after the trailers never went up. I know for a fact I will end up buying a Japanese or US 3DS in the future sometime. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 10, 2011 Took a look on the eShop, still no trailers. And the quality of NoE isn't limited to the eShop either, oh no. Look what's happening right now on the various Club Nintendo websites: Nice mention there about the Zelda soundtrack. Ah, same on the Japanese site. Very nice. Beautiful.

Posted June 10, 2011 At least most of Europe even has a Club Nintendo, but of course Switzerland doesn't Whenever you think that you're getting the short end in terms of fan service, just remember us poor souls who have even less Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted June 10, 2011 They mention anything about why they have an inept 3DS eshop? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 10, 2011 I think i'll be boycotting the eShop, or atleast for now if they end up changing things. Link's Awakening is £3.70 on the America eShop, which is a great price and would convince a lot of people to repurchase the game, but no, NoE had to step it up. And now with this whole 3DS trailer thing and then the lack of DSiWare trailers they're clearly not putting effort in. So basically, no NoE. Just no. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 10, 2011 At least most of Europe even has a Club Nintendo, but of course Switzerland doesn't Whenever you think that you're getting the short end in terms of fan service, just remember us poor souls who have even less I feel with you. We had a Club Nintendo many years ago with an official magazine and everything, but the service was discontinued. Eventually they even closed down the official forum, not that I ever used it, but it shows how little they cared. We always get the manual and covers in both Danish and Swedish but not Norwegian. It's like reading what a 6-year old have written, full of grammar errors and spelling mistakes. At least you can access the store at all, stupid **** wifi thingie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted June 10, 2011 No, I have wired connection. Not that I can't get a router, but they cost a lot. The wifi thingie was cheaper but now it doesn't work anymore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 10, 2011 Could it be that Nintendo of Europe is so lazy compared to NoA because there are much fewer customers here? I would have thought that there are just as many European Nintendo gamers as there are American ones, but it would be interesting to see the statistics. If the numbers are even anywhere near close then NoE really has no excuse. I feel with you.

Posted June 10, 2011 Just updated the 3DS. eShop is so nice, and some really awesome things on there. Zelda's price seems a bit steep though. £5.40 or something. Steep..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 10, 2011 And it's almost £2 cheaper in America Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then again, it could just be something that NoE fabricated in order to get the heat off them for the borked eShop. "Oh, we couldn't add the 3D trailers to the eShop, because we were busy fixing a phishing possibility on our website." Zelda's price seems a bit steep though. £5.40 or something. Steep.....A bit steep? That's putting it mildly. While I actually agree with Iwata's thoughts on the whole iPhone/app pricing issue that he mentioned at the GDC, that doesn't mean I'm happy for Nintendo to completely take the piss when it comes to pricing their own downloadable content. Link's Awakening is a fantastic game, one of my favourite Zelda games of all time actually. But it's also 18 years old, and has already sold over 6 million copies at a much higher price. There's clearly no need for it to cost that much today and in a downloadable form... other than greed. In my opinion eShop pricing should have been something like this: GB = £1.00 GB Color = £2.50 GBA = £5.00 I reckon there'd be a lot more people buying if it was, I certainly would have got Zelda and Mario Land in that situation. But never mind ey? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 10, 2011 I bought Alleyway because I'm a sucker but SML and Zelda are waaaaay steep. Why is SML higher than Alleyway even. Just proves that they know they can get away with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 10, 2011 Well, we now have a Green Lantern Trailer to download. No sign of 3DS games. Not expecting them anymore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 10, 2011 I may email nintendo and ask about that pricing i expect to not get a response, or one that completely ignores the question Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 10, 2011 Well, we now have a Green Lantern Trailer to download.Just downloaded it, the quality is amazing! But now I'm even more annoyed than I was before. NoE, how the hell can you put this out for download but not trailers for your own games!? Arrrrrrggggggghhhhhhhhh!!!!!! :mad: It'll be Shaun the bloody Sheep next, just wait.

Posted June 10, 2011 Sexy GL goodness. I downloaded it and showed Claire. But can't watch myself due to dangerous things that may happen to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 10, 2011 Nice to hear that you guys have a new trailer. I wonder how long it will take for them to send it my way Not to mention that your "over-priced" games are still much cheaper than they are for me. I don't understand why they can't just update the eshop with the same stuff all at once in the whole continent, or even the world! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 10, 2011 Can someone who can't currently see it try changing their location in the 3DS to UK? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 10, 2011 (edited) Can someone who can't currently see it try changing their location in the 3DS to UK? Doing that now, will post back with results. Edit: Well would you look at that! Not only does it let me change the region and access the shop, but the trailer is there too. (along with reduced prices on all the games I might add) Are there any downsides for me if I use the UK shop instead of the Swiss one? Will it suddenly block me or something and make me lose my potential purchases? Edited June 10, 2011 by Adthegreat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted June 10, 2011 Is it possible to change location to USA? Haha, I wish. I won't lie, at launch I looked for that option. The only present downfall is that if you have any funds on your account, if you change region, you won't have those funds anymore till you change back to original region.
