EU VC update 04/04/08

Sigh. Another one-game-wonder week, missing the opportunity for a Hanabi Festival 2 or the introduction of Master System games to Europe.

A late April Fool's from Nintendo, or just there general hatred of Europe? You decide!

It's clear Nintendo needs to hire more people to work on VC. I heard the reason we're getting so few VC games is due to them spending more effort on Wiiware. If that's true I hate Wiiware for killing VC.

No, neither Europe or Australia has the Master System yet. We'll probably get them at the same time, but there's no guarantee. Why they couldn't have given us a Master System game or two today, I don't know.

Yes, though personally I'd have much preferred the Master System.

Yeah, I'm sure you can't. You can't even gift to other countries in the same region: http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/200...-step-further/

Dammit, why is Nintendo so terrified of internationalisation?

Sounds like you just have to set the countries to match. UK/England isn't on my list... but is the British Virgin Islands on your list? Maybe there's one on both our lists.

Afraid not. If I remember correctly, you lose your Wii points by switching country anyway.

What a bunch of commies. I'd write a harshly worded letter if I wasn't so lazy.
