Gaming Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker - Anyone pre-ordering it here?

$NZ60 isn't really that much, converted to pounds it translates to £30 which is the standard price of it.

While Australia has it pretty bad with high prices of games and all, it's a lot worse over at Brazil since Nintendo's left them (it's probably cheaper to import anyway), and on the bright side Australia was the first of the PAL regions to get the New 3DS. So they can brag "FIRST!!!". lol

Brazil is extremely corrupted in this regard and it's always been a very difficult region for companies to work in. Customers will probably not see the slightest difference in Nintendo pulling out since their market is flooded with imported consoles and games, becoming the norm over official retailers. Nintendo has previously built consoles in Brazil to avoid the high cost of import taxes (e.g. GameCube model DOL-102, made in Brazil), however the investment flopped as customers in Brazil kept buying imported consoles and games. Nintendo didn't make the same mistake with the Wii and instead opted to importing the same Made in China make that's exported to other regions, but again the established pirate/import market in Brazil overshadowed Nintendo's attempts to find standing ground in the country. I'm not in the least surprised that Nintendo has now left Brazil for good. It's a corrupted marketplace where healthy competition doesn't exist. Any Brazilian living in the country will say the same.
