  1. To participate in the promotion, you have to be a resident of the United Kingdom, Ireland, Germany, Austria, France, Spain, Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands, Portugal, Switzerland, South Africa, or Russia.

 

Yeah... Just as I thought. They ban Internet on Polish consoles and this special offer doesn't apply to us as well. They are really doing their best not to sell a single console in this market. In the meantime PS4 will most probably sell 1+ mil consoles this gen over here. And they wonder why they struggle so much.



Wii U is a GCN 2 - I called it months before the release!

My Vita to-buy list: The Walking Dead, Persona 4 Golden, Need for Speed: Most Wanted, TearAway, Ys: Memories of Celceta, Muramasa: The Demon Blade, History: Legends of War, FIFA 13, Final Fantasy HD X, X-2, Worms Revolution Extreme, The Amazing Spiderman, Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate - too many no-gaemz :/

My consoles: PS2 Slim, PS3 Slim 320 GB, PSV 32 GB, Wii, DSi.

This is why local multiplayer will always reign supreme.

I can't speak for this myself, but I've heard of some people in Countries that don't have proper eShop support or Club Nintendo that have registered in Countries that are fully supported.  

For instance, I think some members on this site in Latin American Countries have registered in Canada/USA for eShop and Club Nintendo.

Don't be upset at something that was announced well in advance. A message was even sent to my Wii... the blinking blue light should have told you.

They warned this for months. It is not like they are the only ones shutting down wi-fi services for their older games.

Just get a 3DS if you don't think a Wii U is worth it (yet). It's cheaper, has Mario Kart 7, plus great online, too. And a way better library as well, right now.


Now tell me how we're supposed to play together on that 3DS :P

The only solution is that Wii U thing, which is harder to find in Poland than an XO, which hasn't even launched yet :/ Damn it. Hate stuff like that. This is how gaming dies :(


Wait, that's the problem?

If you need local multiplayer, you can still do that on Mario Kart Wii. If you need online multi, you can do that on the 3DS or Wii U (granted, you'd need two consoles). So if it's the former, why make this thread?
