Nintendo *are* moving in the right direction in Europe. Slowly but surely. The central European Nintendo office is to be given more power/control, with the recent developer conference in Rome showing that Nintendo *are* starting to listen to developer complaints. Nintendo were very close to pulling a Sega in Europe - getting so far behind Sony that they couldn't catch up. The N64 was overpriced & understocked when it got released. They've addressed that with the price cuts. There still isn't enough quality games out there. Releasing crap like Cruisin' USA in the UK a year after the American release just to cover a gap in the release schedule is *not* good marketing. Europe may be large physically, but sales wise it's *way* behind Japan & the US. We will always be treated as 'third rate' because of that. Population doesn't matter - China would be the biggest game territory in the world then! It's *sales* that count. If you want to release a game in Europe these days, first you need to convert the game to PAL, and translate it to English, French, German & usually either Spanish or Italian. That all costs money & time. So we get shunted to the end of the queue because the rewards don't always justify the cost. Basically, Europe is Sony country these days.

As I said in my previous post Japan and America *were* more important in the old days when SNES sold shite loads. Now with poor sales (relativly) in those countries N would be stupid to ignore the European market. If they fuck up now with poor sales a contributing factor will be their take it or leave it attitude to the European market.

I really looked forward to this game and now Nintendo f*cks us all by delaying it until november! Why? Because it will sell better then... Did those loosers ever think of the fact it could be over in november already if they keep doing things like this. I mean, people will really sell their N64 and go for the PSX... I just phoned Nintendo (Holland) and asked if they could confirm the delay: "Which game? No, I've never heard of that, it certainly isn't for the N64." "Well, thanks anyway...." I tell you, Nintendo is screwing things up here... >I think it is about time us Europeans took a stand and sent loads of >emails to head of Nintendo in Europe.

Well, if we can this get up.. perhaps we can contact some big N64 sites and ask them to advertise for the campaign. But, I have to say, sometimes Nintendo isn't all bad, for example Yoshi's Story, it was announced to be released 10 April here, but it was released yesterday (26 March)...

If so, >I do remember referring to it as a doorstop more than once... There were two Timex Sinclairs - one based on the ZX81, the other the ZX Spectrum. Sounds like you're talking about the basic ZX81. 1KB or 16KB RAM? The Spectrum was more advanced, and used a rubber keyboard thing. It was underpowered, used tapes for I/O & had a crappy keyboard. It's also responsible for kick starting the UK games industry. The spectrum was most people's first taste of computing. And it certainly inspired a lot of people to start programming simple games out of which the games industry started. For instance, RARE started on the Sinclair computers.

Poland is one of those countries where Sony has a big lead over Nintendo. I believe that Sony's success is caused by the fact that the PSX is CD based. PSX games are cheaper than N64 games, but that is not the main factor. It all comes down to pirate copies. Many people who own a CD recorder, will usually copy games and then sell them, PSX included. I don't know the prices, but I think a PSX pirate game is in the range of $3-$7. This, I believe is the main reason for Sony's success in Poland. Also, the name Sony was quite known during the communist era, so naturally, people remember a good name.

What surprised most was your late reaction to the release date of 1080. Sweden's or Scandinavia's official Nintendo site, had 1080 set for an November release since a month ago, maybe more. So tell me, why this late reaction/awakening? On the other hand, I believe that Australia will get their PAL version soon.
