Snake is hanging on in there. woo

Vote the Mayor for Mayor!
New Zealand - the final frontier (for Nintendo).
I heard that the local Ninty distributor in the NZ region went bust (or close to it), but I just wonder how "competent" they were in the first place. Its been a Playstation country for years - pity it isn't bigger (sales-wise).
(Australia is less than 10% of the US, and NZ is around 10% of Australia... hmm)
...
I picked up TWO copies of WiiPlay tonight. Why?
My local JB is basically NOT selling the Wiimote anymore - just WiiPlay/Wiimote bundles. Guess the profit margin is slightly higher on them!
(finally own 4 controllers now...)
Gesta Non Verba
Nocturnal is helping companies get cheaper game ratings in Australia:
Wii code: 2263 4706 2910 1099
Full priced games in oz. Not likely as Lego star wars is discounted heavily. Massive gap between MS Olympics Wii and DS. Smash hasn't hung around either
“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.
^ Lego Star Wars got a boost from being bundled with Wii at Target, same for M&S which was bundled with DS by them.
