that is the biggest crock of crap i have heard from a game company since the whole RROD thing. The people who are most likely to import are adluts, for themselves, i doubt a parent would go through that to get one measly game for their brood. And im sure adults are not confused by the other ratings from foreign countires anyway. Not that it would matter to an adult, since they wouldnt care what the game is rated( mostly)

I doubt your logic in the first place (plenty of minors import games and importing isn't complicated enough to deter someone from getting a foreign game for his or her child's birthday), but, even so, the choice for Nintendo here is to either take away a feature used by very few people or risk accidentally giving the few minors who import games (and, by extension, the minors who play with foreign gamers) insufficient information about the game's content, even risking lawsuits in a worst case scenario.
I think Nintendo's decision here is fair, given how people are even willing to sue for coffee being too hot these days and this may actually be legitimate grounds for legal action, which Nintendo would do best to avoid, if only for the negative publicity.

How much is plenty?? And minor is minor??? Because unless you live in a city area and know exactly which story in that city sells import games. Id find it hard to believe a child would have access to a credit card to order a game. I do agree with the lawsuit thing, but its still a weak sauce argument. How come no one sued with GBA???? Hell how come Sony isnt getting sued right and left for their PS3 and PSP. They get sued for everything else
