New 3DS in Australia and New Zealand November 21st

[WiiCube_2013]

Australia, New Zealand are both compatible on Europe region games?

You see the PAL logo don't you? There you go.

So if I wanted I could import it early and have the exact same machine that I would have when waiting for the EU release?
too bad for me that November is filled with so many game releases >.<

Must... resist... Nintendo *NEW* hype...

They're called "Dollarydoos."

Some people are so culturally ignorant.

Would the New 3DS be 900 Dollarydoos?

 

[WiiCube_2013]

Missed opportunity for Nintendo to call it "Super 3DS" because the coloured buttons are a reference to the Super Nintendo.

It's gonna be confusing for game stores that sell used and new consoles.

Customer: Do you sell New 3DS?
Employee: Yes. Here they are.
Customer: No, I meant the New 3DS that Nintendo released.
Employee: Oh that one? No, we're out of stock.

*schnip*

Still wonder who gets paid for missing such obvious opportunities.
Still wonder who at Ninty HQ is ok with that.

Introducing "New Wii U"

Because "New Wii U" is not a non-used Wii with a new controller.

YAY! Cannot wait to play Xenoblade Chronicles - Super Ultra Extreme Pixelated Edition

How do you think it feels to be Australian? We get none of the above, ever.

I've been wrong before. I don't plan on getting a new 3ds any time soon, but it's the thought that counts.

The pal region has been getting a lot of things before the US nowadays, haven't they? Pretty sure it used to be the opposite. ;(

 

[Snailface]

No plans to release in EU / US? What? Why? Surely those are bigger markets than Australia and surely it's not simply geographical distance that prevents them from shipping to the US. How much more could it possibly cost?

It's likely because they can only manufacture a certain amount and Australia's market just fits under their manufacturing allotment for this year. Keep in mind the pop. of Australia is less than California so its much easier to meet it's demand than all of North and South America and Europe.

Not really. Most big releases are US first to be honest.
Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire coming 21st worldwide and Europe is getting it on the 28th(november that is).

Yeah, that's what I mean. We usually get nice things before you guys, but lately it's been the opposite.

No, it's not been the opposite lately. There have been some cases where we get things before the US but generally we still have to wait forever for most things (lol hai SMT IV)

I was just looking at Professor Layton and a few Capcom games. I dunno what SMT IV is.

I can wait for little while but sticking with that "new 3DS" as title is super dumb in MANY aspects, especially if they are releasing games that aren't compatible with older versions.

Better than what they named the Wii U. At least when parents are shopping on Christmas, when they're child goes "I want the New 3DS!", they'll get what they wanted.

Sounds smart to me.

Shin Megami Tensei IV.

Shin Megami Tensei IV.

And eShop only. Fail! They must not see the UK as a big selling point.
