New Zealand IS NOT Australia. We have a completely different rating system! Games in NZ don't have to be classified unless they have been restricted in other countries. I wish publishers (and bloggers) would stop lumping NZ in with the stupid Australian market.
Only just noticed the price! $17 NZD (13.70 USD). The eShop prices are ridiculous. That's more than I paid for Xcom Enemy Unknown and more than nearly all games I buy on Steam. Imagine how much more money Nintendo could make if they were competitive (through increased console sales and digital sales) - although they'd probably also need a proper account system (which is also why I don't buy anything other than the $0.30 games). I'd be more likely to make an impulse buy if the prices were more realistic e.g. (in USD): Nes - $1, SNES - $2, N64 - $3, Gamecube - $5, Wii - $10
I don't see why Kiwis have to be blocked from buying the game along with the Aussies. Games in NZ don't have to be classified unless they have been restricted in other countries. So there is no reason why MSF!HDE shouldn't have been available in NZ at launch. http://www.censor.org.nz/how-censorship-works/games/classifying-video-games.html

I totally took that headline the wrong way. Was expecting something about drag queen Miis. But, this is cool too
