It takes a lot of time to translate the text to all major European languages.

But if an English version was already done for the US, why should English speaking countries like the UK, Australia and New Zealand have to wait on French, German, and Italian language versions?

US-English and UK-English are not identical. It takes time to add all the 'u'-s into words like colour and so on ...

NoE still has plus points on my list from the Wii-Generation (Disaster Day of Crisis, Project Zero II, also Xenoblade+Pandoras Tower+Last Story without begging). A few delays won't change my oppinion that NoE > NoA.

I fully agree with this.

Usually europe gets one version with all languages included and I assume the overhead of making different versions in different countries is not worth the won weeks for english-speaking countries.

It has nothing to do with the translation, they should know by now that Europe has more than one language, they should be and are prepared for that.

If anyone remembers, last year Nintendo closed their European headquarters in Großostheim, and moved it to Frankfurt. They admitted that the relocation will probably cause some delay. Of course they wanted to get Smash U done in time, so Captain Toad and Kirby got the short end of the stick. It makes sense, they are budget titles after all, and Kirby isn't even that popular in Europe.

Nevertheless, Captain Toad was originally set to release on January 9, but was moved to January 2, and even December in some stores. Kirby was originally planned for the 2nd half of 2015, but is now May 8. They're working really hard to make up for the delays. I think Splatoon will make it in time. I have no worries.

Good point. I hope you're right, but Kirby and Splatoon both in one month doesn't seem like their M.O.

I am very disappointing in this Kirby game TBO. Lets just hope that Yoshi is the game I want it to be. Sucks they are all delayed in your neck of the woods.

That is something i have asked myself many times. I think those of who have no problems with english, which in addition to UK, Australia and New Zealand includes Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Finland have suffered long enough because some European nations are too lazy to read and learn english. Sorry for going off topic, it is just something that has bothered me since 1993
