Well, that torpedoes my theory. I guess it's only NA retailers that seem happy to take whatever Nintendo feeds them.
It's too bad. For a while now I've been of the opinion that retailer preconceptions are more of an impediment to 3rd party success on the Wii than the attitude of 3rd party publishers. Nintendo might still have more pull with retailers in PAL regions than Capcom, but... damn.
