TalkBack / RE:Iwata Looks to Australia
« on: June 08, 2004, 08:10:00 PM »
wow, there are a few australians about, that's pretty cool
this is my first post, probably because it's interested me heaps to know that nintendo are aware of how bad things are down under. man i'd love to talk to him myself, i'm sure a lot of nintendo fans down here would too. currently i'm in tokyo on student exchange and the cube here is actually kind of big. funnily enough there is NO xbox promotion is this country. as far as this place is concerned, there's only two consoles, ps2 and cube. you see gamecube ads on tv, i've seen pikimin posters and ads, wario world ads, quite a few gba ones too. definitely you can say that nintendo has a presence here.
and in australia, it's somewhat different. no gc promotion. and yes, it's odd, but there appears to be only two consoles in this country too, but it's the evil ones =( i have wondered what sort of budget nca has here but whatever's going on, consumers don't know. at least, the regular people don't. anyone who is a fan bought a cube, but everyone else i'd probably consider to be uninformed. i've noticed that in dick smith (kind of like a walmart) stores they've withdrawn their support for the cube so there literally is only two consoles- the catalogues do not feature gc at all, though there's still some stock in the stores.
reviewgamer is right on, we need to be cared about. people need to be informed. it's not like there aren't nintendo fans here, i'd say n64 and snes were quite popular in their days, but it's like everyone moved on or something. a mini expo (not a sexpo) would be fantastic. of course i'd want it free and in sydney
i'd like to see more competitions too, more events. people need to be playing the games, seeing what's cool and wanting to get a cube.
of course, we don't know what it's like on the distro side, things seem pretty grim but i hope that gets sorted out too.
