Well, it's now been officially confirmed after all this time, the E-Reader won't be released in Europe! Personally I'm not too worried, I wasn't really ever interested in the thing, but maybe some other Europeans here are. It looks like you'll need to import, or wait for the "alternative" method Nintendo have mentioned...
Any thoughts?Spong.com said:We can reveal today that the E-Reader will never be released into Europe, following well over a year of 'maybes' from Nintendo regarding the future of the Game Boy Advance peripheral.
Hot on the heels of one NOE insider doubting the possibility of the unit shipping, we have received absolute clarification on the issue. "We won't launch E-Reader in Europe,” confirmed head of PR Shelly Pearce. “We don't think the market potential is great enough to launch the product in Europe - however we will make the downloadable elements that cards provided available via different routes,” ending the debate at last.
As to exactly how any additional content will manage to transcend its cardboard origins remains to be seen. With the launch of the E-Reader heavy Animal Crossing for PAL Game Cube due this fall, this question will soon be answered.
