You can't really complain to or blame a company that's doing what it's told to do.

It's wishful thinking that Nintendo AU would step-up and have more power, but to be honest, we're a niche market and just not worth it.

That, or I have another theory: Other regions are pissed off that we get Christmas before them.

I stopped playing my Wii after Resident Wiivil mainly because of this. Nintendo will have to do more than free grips to make me want to play it more, perhaps making their site decent, their ‘connection’ tours in places where I can GET to without having to drive for 6 hours altogether (I live in the ACT) and of course get those games out when they should. Nintendo has shown that they can do it and better with the DS Lite, Mario Kart etc…

@ PIGDEN

Yeah, I know what you mean. The same experience for me recently; the service guys were brilliant to deal with.

It’s weird though cause in person, Nintendo Australia are actually really friendly and willing to help out, I drove down there the other day and got my Wii replaced in twenty minutes after I explained had problems with overheating and artifacts. I suppose for once, customer service guys aren’t the jaded ones.

Thankfully chipping is legal here and I've already enjoy Paper Mario, Metroid and will be enjoying Galaxy and Brawl before the end of the year.

Screw you Nintendo.

Is this about Aussie-Nintendo’s war against Nintendo Australia?

My Wii has been gathering dust, mostly. I used it to check the weather, for old times sake, the other day though. Yep. I think it’ll be about the really unfair release dates.

@Duskbringer: Bhopti's actually doing good work over at Sega now.

As I said, everyone's got a good idea what's going on. I just wanted to give Nintendo the benefit of the doubt.
