Infuriating. Not because I care about defending a multi million dollar company, but because this puts the future of the entire Metroid franchise in jeopardy. If this isn’t the best selling game in the series yet and if it doesn’t reach a decent sales milestone relative to other Switch games then bye bye Metroid forever. Honestly it’s kinda irresponsible for these media publications to advocate for piracy. They’re potentially going to be responsible for killing off Metroid forever. Not cool.
It can’t be due to data protection laws. Spotify gave us Europeans full access to their year in review feature, which proves it can be done even with GDPR.
It’s a shame that a video game character having a non-American based accent is actually deemed newsworthy. We clearly need more variety in video game dialects!
I find it quite disturbing that Americans are so keen to censor British English from the internet. I recently saw an enraged commenter on another website bemoan the alleged overuse of the word ‘whilst’ in an article that apparently made it totally unreadable. Niggle is a perfectly common English word that has absolutely no connection to racism whatsoever. Why not try to understand and accept other cultures, rather than trying to censor and eradicate them?
Wow, just googled GTA V sales and it reached the 130 million milestone in May 2020. The 3rd top selling game of all time. It'll probably still sit in the top 5 until GTA VI releases, crazy how successful that one game has been.
Very disappointing and frustrating (seeing as it's only Europe/Oceania impacted). This was going to be my main weekend game. I just completed Pirate's Curse for the second time yesterday in preparation for this game and it reminded me just how good the series can be.
Maybe I'll buy Half Genie Hero to fill in the time or maybe I'll try and find a workaround to buy it from the American eShop.

Disappointed that Nintendo made this US/Canada only. Not cool Nintendo, not cool!
