Owen Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 There is too much demand in japan. Nintendo needs all the time it can get to stockpile Your right. BUT PS3 is not coming out in Europe this year! Therefore Nintendo might be best to get a bigger head-start here because Europeans love Sony. Also this time it's SO different. With the Gamecube, hype wasn't 'that' high. However UK newspapers and sites have been hyping the Wii for a long time and Europe really really want it. It will be a HUGE hit here. Nintendo may be best to concentrate on getting it to Europe first for once.....I don't know. Would make a bloody nice change, which i believe Europe deserve. It will be like a apology after the unfair Gamecube launch date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myster0n Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 Hey wait a minute : The order of events are : Japan - US - Europe. BUT : the release dates so far seem to be in reverse order : Japan = December 2, US looks like November 19 .... Maybe Europe will be ... November 3 ??? Soon we'll know. EDIT : Sorry Owen, I didn't see your post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaijin von Snikbah Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 It is possible. Christmas is not a big deal in Japan as it is in Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NintendoDS Posted September 14, 2006 Author Share Posted September 14, 2006 (edited) No one ever remembers Australia, you think Europe are the poor little 'Oh no, not again' Europe. I really believe if there is a PAL launch before ther NTSC, it will be in Australia about 9 hours before EURO. ________ NSR500 Edited January 19, 2011 by NintendoDS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Australia are the same as Europe when it comes to releases! and lets be honest i think Europe can say 'Oh no, not again' most of the time. We are badly treated as well as our friends in Australia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NintendoDS Posted September 14, 2006 Author Share Posted September 14, 2006 (edited) We'll see. We have got one thing before the rest of the world (aside Japan) and this was the DS Lite. I have the Cooking Mama US version, it rocks! I love Cooking Mama. ________ portable vaporizer Edited January 19, 2011 by NintendoDS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raven_blade2006 Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 Guys check this out if you havent seen it already. http://www.excite.co.jp/world/english/web/?wb_url=http://www.nintendo.co.jp/wii/topics/wii_preview/presentation/06.html&wb_lp=JAEN&wb_dis=2 These pages have a translation of the Wii preview and show a helluva a lot more Wii info with demonstrations. Theres a ridiculous amount of info over there! Plus it has a video for each aspect of Wii shown in the Japanese Conference. The interface looks clean and very sleek by the way.

Ashley Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 Just curious, and I doubt there is an official answer yet, but; These Wii Points? They work like Xbox Live points (ie you attain them by playing games and achieving stuff)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaijin von Snikbah Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 I think thos are the credit cards you purchase for using with the virtual console. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 But im curious as to whether it is going to work like Xbox Live Points; you can purchase them from shops and online, or you can attain them through hardwork/points whoring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waylander Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 I think the Wii points sounds more like the Microsoft points. You use them to buy downloadable content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knightendo Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 check out http://www.wii.com!! looks like bit by bit all the info will go up as each conference is held, cool! (oh, and nintendo look like they're treating australia as a proper region instead of an expansion of their european launch) and even if christmas is a big event in japan, they are gonna lap it up the second it goes on sale, so nintendo can afford to be later there. and as far as the US and Eur releases, they keep on saying they don't see PS3 as their competitor. well, of course they do, but i think these release dates show so much confidence in ninty with Wii, which is good to see i don't think they've changed anything because of sony... and maybe if we are first that'd explain the 6th november closing date for the ONM competition perhaps..? we'll see... EDIT: HER! HERE! dunno if this is posted yet, if it is sorry. click here SO. MANY. GAMES!!! and is that nintendogs and a resi evil mansion i see in there???? (not together obviously!)
