Which is coming out in Europe next year, as opposed to, y'know, X-Mas, when they could make, y'know, money.

Whatever they're paying Nintendo of Europes hugher-ups, it's evidently too bloody much if they make a gross tactical error like that.

But then that's the case for the PSP as well. In fact they are both coming here at about the same time.

Also unless you know a product will sell it's often best to bring the product to one country at a time and see how it does. Since we apparantly have the same tastes as the americans they get to try everything before us. :angry:

Though the DS is region free, can be charged by a UK GBASP charger and turns out to be much cheaper to import.

In our favour though the Dead pixel problem will probably be taken care of before it comes here. In the US a small number of DS's came with Dead pixels, pixels on one of the two screens that won't change colour. They should fix it for us like Sony did with their PS2's with the ability to delete the DVD loading software.

Nintendo have been doing shit like this a lot longer than Sony. As for the PSP, it's coming out no too long after the US release here so it's more forgiveable.

Simple fact is Nintendo seem to hate Europe for no good reason. And very few people actually buy Nintendo conles here in the UK/Europe now when compared to the likes of PS2 and Xbox because of this.

At least Microsoft isn't pulling any handheld crap...

The Nintendo DS has been pretty much a dull concept here in the States for a while and it only came out a couple of weeks ago. So, I'm not all that impressed with NOA for the releases.

And why release 2 weeks before the Japanese release, I ask you?

It seems that there is a new C&C game in development in the Red Alert Universe. Just not an expansion pack called Ivan's Revenge noted by Sonic Fox.

http://www.gamespot.com/news/2004/12/06/news_6114540.html

Same engine used in C&C Generals and LODR:Battle for Middle Earth. So prob some interesting results.

Give them time and I have no doubt they will. With Microsoft's MO, they probably will make something stupidly large and insanely powerful.

Nah nintendo aren't selling because they treat the Europe market as their third priority. They aren't selling because they're doing nothing to shred their kiddy image. People still see it as a place for Pokemon and Mario only.

Now that the Resi 4 exclusivity is gone they won't bring in any new buyers. The idiots should've advertised that the resi series was GCN exclusive instead they expected people to just know it.

As for the DS/PSP arguement. The PSP is portable Playstation 2, it needs no more to sell it. The DS in Nintendo's view is a new system risking a few new features not done before. In other words it's more risky hence the wait.

RE could have been a knock-off of something else, its the actual content that makes the difference.

Nintendo hate us because we bought the Mega Drive over the Snes. Heh, it seems they've never forgiven us for that. However, in a recent interview Satoru Iwata seems to be pulling Nintendo Europe's head out of it's arse.

Of course, actions WOULD speak louder than words.

For the UK release. I know the DS is out I HAVE ONE. But with a RISKY project you test the waters in ONE AREA FIRST. We are seen to have the SAME TASTE AS AMERICA so if it goes well there it'll go well here apparantly. If it bombed we wouldn't see it, they would back out and the DS would become as rare as the Virtual Boy.

Whereas the PSP is a PLAYSTATION, the name is enough to sell. Therefore there's virtually no risk and in turn a more or less worldwide release.

American McGee is working on Scrapland, but after that he's teaming with George Romero for City of the Dead.

Of which, only concept drawings have been released for the game. Still looks pretty good though from what they are trying to get to based on the concepts.

Couple of new ones for me (Bear in mind for PC):
Halo 2
GTA: San Andreas
Stalker
F.E.A.R
Brothers in Arms
City of the Dead
The Movies
C&C Red Alert 3 (recently announced, more news coming soon)
SW: Republic Commando
Close Combat: First to Flight

Pretty much it.

(*sighs*)... Doesn't mean i really like them, i choose those because they look interesting and seem interesting. True i don't like racing games much, but doesn't mean i dont ever play them. I just don't find the fun in racing for some reason. Clear enough?
