Quote I asked the lovely lady at the front reception if Satoru Iwata was going to come to Australia soon because i had heard of it before-hand about a year ago.
She says, "what?" I say "Satoru Iwata", "Who", "SAT-ORU....I-WAT-A", "......"

What made you think it should've been taken seriously in the first place? The thread did say "horrible glory". You're probably just not aware of how laughably-depressing NAL is. The articles reflect NAL's state of well-being. They probably wished they could write about/show more, but there doesn't seem to be anything more to NAL than that! Poor advertising and non-existant product availability is their gift to Australia, BANZAI!
The Neko-kitty statue thing must be broken AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH
I have the urge to crush newspapers now.

who says there depressing? depressing is the people who made the company like this Im sure you remember the huge sales after metroid prime ads, 7,000 in a month.. "non-existant product availability" = ?, sure people bitched about donkey kong jungle beat, but most stores in south aus still have plenty of stock, only game I think it happened with was MGS

7000, that's good? GTA SA sold about 100 times that in a day. And uh... you must be pretty damn lucky with stores in your area, it looks like I got the last copy of Jungle Beat in the whole of Sydney, and 80% of previously released GC games have also disappeared, right now i'm playing the "buy the game on launch day or don't get it at all!" game.
