@Nintendzoey I'm not sure how much they restocked, but my local EBgames sold out of amiibo's on day 1 when smash came out, and never got anymore since. After hearing about the restock I dropped in there this week and they had 1 kirby and 2 links so I bought the 2 links. (one for friend) so now I have 4 amiibo's but they are too frustrating to collect in Australia you are right.
Nintendo needs to subsidise the costs and help people get this done. If they are going to sell the console in these countries they need to make sure they are getting all the games too
@MAB well two tribes did send a tweet to fran, and he tweeted back, as far as the conversation went I don't think unepic will be coming to Australia, his just not comfortable with paying for classification here
VC could do with a much faster turnaround, and why not n64 and gamecube stuff. Pursue indie games much more than they are, pressure notch for minecraft, get spelunky. Show us some teasers at least of Zelda U, get some hype going
I unboxed my wiiu and updated it before xmas incase something like this happened, for those that happen to have mario 3d, that has most of the OS updates on the disc. Sorry that some people cannot play their new digital download games but the flipside is it's great that there are a lot of new nintendo owners out there.
I only got this a couple days a go, I'd been waiting so long to play it and knew it had got a lot of 10/10 so I had very high expectations. Only took 30 seconds for me to realise this was truly something special, I havn't felt this blown away by a game since mario64. Worth buying a wii u for.
if it's anything like the other console versions it will have better network code and local co-op, plus be coded in c++. I like the mods on pc, but if they use the gamepad well, I'll be happy to buy the game for a third time.
@Kolzig Yeah I watched the us direct after the europe one and was wondering if I'd somehow blinked to long missed chibi robo on the eu one. Looks adorable even if he may get confused by what an aussie power outlet looks like.

Re: Nicalis: We'd Like To Support Europe, But Nintendo Doesn't Make The Process Easy
I guess this wont be coming to Australia then, shame I was interested in it. Nintendo really needs to work with devs to get things out in all regions.

Should be refunding the whole game, since those that wanted to play the dlc will now have to purchase the game & season pass again on another system.
Re: Satoru Iwata Announces a "Quality of Life" Platform Business of "Non-Wearable" Technology
I envision a 3ds that makes geiger noises when a fukushima dolphin swims by. Other than that I think I'm actually worried about Mr Iwata.
Re: Nintendo Download: 30th January (Europe)
I got reply back from Fran about UnEpic and he doesn't know why it hasn't been released in Australia, he was not made aware of any restrictions.
"No entiendo por qué no ha salido. Nunca se ha hablado de restricción en Australia"
Re: Nintendo Download: 30th January (Europe)

Re: Castle Clout 3D Brings Medieval Destruction to the 3DS eShop on 30th January
The small amount of physics in the destruction seems to be letting this one down.

If they don't sell something in my region and I want to buy but cannot, then it's a lost sale.
