@15. NintyFan: Europe, Australia are only the PAL regions. Asia and Africa don't get their own localised games, becuase of pircacy and poverty, respectivly.
Most of the time, if Australia doesn't get a game in the same week as Europe, then Australia is getting it over a month away, or not at all.
@8.Token Girl: I agree with the charger thing. I'll be leaving for America tonight, and it looks like I'm going to have to buy a voltage converter at the airport. Ugh...
But it would be horrible if the 3DS was region locked. Of course, it wouldn't be a problem if every game released in the US or Japan made it here.
@5.TeoBarnowl: There are a couple of levels in Lost Levels where you can quite easily jump over the flag pole. One leads to a warp zone that sends you back to the start of the game.
@25.GrangeGrover: I think it's on Star Road. I was playing that level last night, but I wasn't able to get Yoshi far enough into the level before a Koopa jumped out of nowhere and knocked him offf.
@18.Caliko: You can get All You Need Is Love and songs from Rubber Soul, Sgt Pepper, and Abbey Road (that aren't already in the game) for about 200 Wii points each for DLC. Which, to be honest, is a little steep for 3-4 minute songs.
@Kid_A: Funny you should mention, that, considering I Want You and Here Comes The Sun used to be separated by a side break on the original album.[/Beatle know-it-all]
@Aviator: Yeah, most HDTVs can do that these days. Thank you Nintendo! I just don't see how you people can complain about having to have a DVD player to play the bonus disc. It's better than swapping Wii discs back and forth. Everyone with enough money to buy a Wii would have a DVD player. And who gives a crap if you can play it on a Sony or Microsoft device? You can also play the Pokemon anime DVDs on Playstation and Xbox too. I guess Nintendo is stupid for not making them Wii exclusive aswell.
