Australia strikes back

That's it! We've had enough! Australians, pick up your pitchforks and torches, we're going after the Head of Nintendo Australia. After years and years of delayed games (most recently, Super Paper Mario for Wii, 6 months later than America; Big Brain Academy Wii, 6 months later than America; Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, 2 1/2 months later than America *list goes on*), some Australian fans have taken a stand, and are fighting back for us.

You can see Nintendo Australia's response to these questions was"no comment". And now, a fell wind blows across the red plain. Dozens of furious Australians write emails of complaint to Nintendo Japan, demanding an excuse for Nintendo Australia's abysmal attempt to sell their products down South. On the Wiire, and Aussie-Nintendo.com in particular, I have seen rallying and organizing of ideas. This has clearly gone too far. Admittedly, we do not buy as many games as America or Japan, but Australia and Europe (PAL countries) take up a very large portion of the world, and are responsible for a fair amount of the worldwide sales. We have had enough of being kept in the dark!

If you agree, then rally with us. We need all the support we can get to show Nintendo of Australia that we have had enough! We want to see games around the same time as everyone else in the world. We want to be given the same rights with games as other buyers (IE, lower the price; we pay $40 more for games than America; by AUS dollars.) We demand you remove region locking on your games, as you are further restricting us from playing your games.

This is not the end of my rant. My lawyer shall be on you, Nintendo!
