I am so frustrated that i just had to rant about this! i just checked on amazon for Super Paper Mario on Wii to be told its out in September.... SEPTEMBER!!! the game is already out in the states! if it finished, why are we Europeans forced to wait for this and every other game longer!! Trauma Center 2 has been out for AGES, yet here i am, stuck in the UK having to wait months and months longer for it to arrive. WHY WHY WHY!?!?

We weren't the ones to get the first online game, and a very good one at that. I still have to wait another 28 days for online play, because pokemon is icky.

The UK just isn't worth as much to many companies as the American and Japanese markets.

Nintendo tries to offset this with some special things for the UK like the points deal and Strikers first but that's just how it works out.

You guys got strikers first, but it makes since, Soccer is like HUGE in europe and in other places around the world, except for U.S. US isnt that big in soccer since we have American Football, so we focus on NFL and NCAA more. It makes since why you guys have it before us.

They could at least release the games in the UK and Australia then worry about the rest of the languages. I think I know how to understand english, the language my people created.

if it finished, why are we Europeans forced to wait for this and every other game longer!!

killeryoda85
Because all of Europe gets the same versio of the game. That means before they can release it they have to translate it into French, Spanish, German, Italian and probably more. Now considering Super Paper Mario has more text than the bible, it takes a rather long time to translate it, that's why its taking so long.

I don't think you guys are as much of spend-a-holics as we are here in the states... that's probably the biggest problem.

If maybe any other game it would be ok, but this game will last you a week tops, so that IS kinda annoying.

i think that the big problem with the wii industry is the games. i was really looking forward to it last summer, but after its release it all looked like another gamecube with cool controlls. i hated my gamecube, only because there just weren't fun games. off topic.

You are complaining??? You have Super Mario Strikers Charged before us. Many VC games have been released on your side before on us.

i think its because most manufacturers need to release the game to all of europe at the same time... not just the UK, if that was the case then you guys would not have to wait nearly as long. But they treat the UK as a part of the european marketing region, so they need time to translate to all the different countries that dont speak english as their native language.

I think..?

So why don't they dissolve regions, and just do language releases?! Release something in english in all major english countries, and spanish versions likewise etc etc etc...
