Here they go again

Everybody remember Nintendo Australia saying they were doing something about the game delays? It's in the archives, go look. Anyway, did you really believe them? Well you'd be WRONG!!!!!

Thanks to my god friends at the Wiire, I have some very terrible stats to show you:

As we can see, only two games have release dates in Australia before North America, while 7 games have a delay of more than one month and 4 games have a delay over 3 months for Australia."

So, as you can see, if Nintendo Australia are trying to do something about the delays , they suck at it. Note that Zak and Wiki is being distributed by Nintendo Australia, nad yet we have to wait months for it. I want an NTSC Wii, but having both the PAL and an NTSC one makes no sense.

On a positive note, my last day of school (technically) tomorrow. I'll have two more assignments afterwards, and the formal, but officially, we're done. Dancing in the streets.
