It's probably banned in Germany (I can't confirm this, I am just guessing based on many violent games being banned there, and RE4 seems to have been distributed in small numbers as if retailers own rules stop them selling it) It might have not even reached some regions. or might just not be popular in them.

True that. Madworld will be banned as well.

There we go.
The game is banned in Germany, knowing Australia it is probably late or limited shipments early on, Nintendo don't directly distribute to Scandanavia so perhaps it's late there too.
So we are left with the UK (where the game is probably relatively popular compared to other regions, as well as the huger userbase advantage) France, Spain, Italy and Benelux.

HotD: Overkill is a Sega game, Nintendo publish their own games in Scandinavia, however Sega games are published by Pan Vision. According to their website they released it February 13.
Bergsala being the official distributor there instead of Nintendo shouldn't really cause Nintendo products to be released later than in countries where NoE directly operate. NoE should treat it the same as any of their own regions with regards to release dates. Same goes for Sony and their Scandinavian distributor Nordisk Film, who unlike Bergsala are also the publisher in Scandinavia.
