I think is because of the long history of Playstation domination in the continent, but you have to admit that NoE is creating a lot of buzz in the last 2 generations,

They released Disaster: Day of Crisis (never came to America), also Project Zero 2 (same as before), they brought all the Operation Rainfall games by themselves (Xenoblade Chronicles, The Last Story and Pandora's Tower) and they even gave a special coin to those who bought all 3 games.

Recently they offered special editions of MK8 with the Blue Shell, special edition of Hyrule Warriors, and Special version of Bayonetta 2, all for pre-order. They released New Nintendo 3DS regular non XL version and we only got the XL one, and have better amiibo distirbuition to the point that we are getting many figurines from them because of the ridiculous store exclusive policies. They still get some delays but also from time to time they get some titles early (like Yoshi's Woolly World).

They have a harder battle to fight because of the Playstation brand domination over the region, but they are fighting with all the right moves to the point that is actually frustrating to see the games sell worse, here in America we are getting scraps, the management is too conservative, they are not trying to get third party developers to port the games, they don't offer special editions and the amiibo destribution just plain sucks.

If at this point my vote is not clear I think NoE is way better than NoA.

Pretty much every console sells better in the US than Europe though. The US is the bigger gaming market (although it is getting closer).


Yes, but is not only the total numbert of sales, the apealing to Nintendo products is higer on US since the Nes age.



The one that's not NoA.

Ok, I guess the poll makes sense then.

For all the good points made by flagstaad, I can only say that yes, Nintendo of Europe is doing things a lot better than America.



Please excuse my bad English.

Currently gaming on a PC with an i5-4670k@stock (for now), 16Gb RAM 1600 MHz and a GTX 1070

Steam / Live / NNID : jonxiquet    Add me if you want, but I'm a single player gamer.

I dunno about NoE, I've had to wait months for releases that have already been released in the US and even japan, I'm still waiting on Gunvolt which really pisses me off and I've had a friend ragging me down ebcause he saw it in a direct trailer last Dec and claimed it was on the store, I checked and all that was there was the direct trailer and he still ragged me like a total idiot.

I really heavily dislike waiting months for a game to release when it;s clearly released elsehwere, when it comes to translating a Japanese game that no other country has then that wait is normally fine but it;s not fine when the US has it before EU, I know this happens with many games on multiple plkatforms but it really has to stop and Nintendo of Europe has to cut that shit out.

it's bad enough that when Gunvolt finally comes to EU 3DS shop that they'll charge full price even though we've clearly had to wait much longer, I just don't see that being fair at all with absolutely zero benefit or advantage for me as an EU 3DS owner.



Step right up come on in, feel the buzz in your veins, I'm like an chemical electrical right into your brain and I'm the one who killed the Radio, soon you'll all see

So pay up motherfuckers you belong to "V"

Easily. NOA comes off as very lazy,while it seems like NOE actually seems to try for their market/fanbase over there

I like Reggie, though I always felt we in NA got the short end of the club nintendo stick.



NoA recieves more indies, the release dates are usually sooner, and the prices are better. NoE has better ads, better promotions, and better special editions. So, for me, NoA is better. Distribuition sucks, but prices are cheaper. Ads, suck, but i don't care about that, since i don't care much about the popularity of nintendo anymore.

While NoA strugle do anything decent beyond Canda and USA, NoE strugle with half of europe, africa and oceania. There is no Tvii in europe, and i'm pretty sure that club nintendo is very limited there too.

Today most hardware design is left to other companies, but when you make hardware without taking into account the needs of the eventual software developers, you end up with bloated hardware full of pointless excess. From the outset one must consider design from both a hardware and software perspective."
