Your not alone mate I live in the U.K and due to our PAL formatting it takes longer; lol I noticed it says "Nintendo do not comment on these issues" guess we just have to wait, good job they give us good games.

MMM i thought that guy Aaron raised some really good questions which need to be answered. Nintendo MUST address this at some point they have to, right?

As the author of the original report points out though, other publishers don't seems to have the same problems with PAL releases. Just Nintendo.

Some people over here are resorting to importing a US Wii they are so sick of it.

Not only do the games take ages to come out, they also cost about twice as much as they doin USA. If they made the DS region free, why could they make the wii region free? I have 8 ds games and only two of them I bought here (New Zealand) the rest are all US and Japanese imports.

Well apparently SMG is coming out 3 days after US and M&S@TOG isn't too far behind US either.

"Nintendo Australia has no comment; Nintendo Australia does not comment on these issues."

Good lord, any Aussie here think I should just take a 20 minute trip downto Scoresby and "knock" in Nintendo Australia's door?

Joking mods, joking. But seriously though, daym, we finnaly recieve Super Paper Mario, 6 months after the US, and where lucky enough to have a serious bug in the PAL version, :D we are lucky, arn't we?

Because

1, Updating a NTSC version of a Wii in AU doesn't work. :|

2, NTSC has an terrible resolution

3, you run the risk of "bricking" your Wii attempting to go online with the system

4, Buying ANOTHER Wii just to get games early is quite expensive, I'm not built from money

5, their is no 5.

:) :lol:

Yeah I don't think that will brink the Wii.

You can import a US Wii. And the games. It's just expensive.

Or NAL could just sort their s**t out.
