I realize its not the 16th in America yet but.....I figured NOJ announced the 16th as the date in JAPAN so I kind of thought.....Nintendo would make it a worlwide release so when the games hit in Japan on the 16th, they would hit most other places on the 15th.....and even if they were waiting until Friday in all regions, why did Australia get their games on their 15th?? Would it really be the end of the world if NOA (and NOE for that matter) just gave us the games?? I don't think anyone would complain about them being out early!

Move to Australia then

Everyone has a complaint when something really cool comes out early in one region - and there's always that guy who points out that they should move there. Slaps Dont be that guy.

And this will be a thing of the past once the games come out

A few minutes ago, I notice that my total download counter increase and I thought that the GBA games are available. I was so happy until I realize that I recently downloaded free eShop previous.

D'oh

I wouldn't be complaining if we all got the games at the same time, but Australia got theirs earlier than the rest of the world, Japan just got theirs.

And now NOE/A are twiddling their thumbs, if everyone else can have them, why can't we?

Some people are getting hyped up about other regions getting the game they want early - but you're the only one getting frustated with people wanting their great games ASAP. Leave em alone.

Nintendo of America Soapbox Time:

NoA sucks. I think they should fire Reggie and everyone else up the chain of command and re-hire those positions with smarter, more tech savvy people who are ready to steer this thing into the new decade. (Of course, this might be a problem with Nintendo Corp and not NoA, and if so, then this should apply to those people. Sorry, Reg, if your'e out of the loop.) The ENTIRE future of sales is going to be ONLINE and WIRELESS, why they are so slow to realize this is beyond me. (Look at the success of the iTunes Store, the iPad replacing hardcover books, and the iCloud service, etc.) Nintendo needs to realize that offering its games on other devices (Mario games on the iPad) might be a good thing for them, too, but this is beyond NoA's control and has more to do with Nintendo's board of directors' decisions, etc. I know Nintendo makes hardware and are afraid of cannabilization of hardware sales if they offer their games on other devices, but until Nintendo can offer a similar quality online experience, they'll be shooting themselves in the foot.

Also, More thought needs to be put into caring for the user of the product. Why they fail to notify us when they say they are or leave us hanging at times is beyond me. If its a business and they want to make money, then sometimes I feel they could do a much better job of doing so! Hell, hire ME! Lol. I'll make sure the American user base feels loved! I do know these are free games we're talking about and Nintendo won't make money off them, but our happiness will lead to future sales. They also could offer these games up for sale on the e-shop to anyone and everyone after we get ours, why they wouldn't do that is beyond me. While I know there are pure haters and others who on the flip side of that - total brainwashed Nintendo fans-, I feel that we can all agree that NoA has done sort of a below the par job as of late with their fan base. Get your act together, Nintendo of America!

P.S. On a sidenote, word is out that the GBA games are now available in japan after only being available in Australia for the past few hours. So it seems to be inching closer to Europe and America. Let's hope!

Maybe so, but just let them complain. You're no more mature than them if you keep responding to people who are dissapointed about not having the games yet with comments like that.

Well lz was just joking, though I still say he has a good point. And How are people supposed to learn if they aren't told they're doing something wrong?

Well I've seen him post similar comments all around the website. These people are frustrated - what makes you think annoying them further will make it any better?

And why should they be frustrated? Because some other region gets something first? I want to point out that Australia has been in last release-wise for about 95% of the time and they get these games first and everyone HAS to be up in arms about it. People just want to whine for the sake of whining.
