Topic: Wii U European VC: The 50Hz Debacle

[AnGer]

I would just like to restate. This issue is decidedly not understandable. As with the issue of not being able to view mature content or download mature games during certain parts of the day, Nintendo seem to be the only company who keeps falling into these ridiculous problems.

I agree on that in general. However, the issue at hand is also a problem for Sony as they still sell PS1 classics in Europe as the 50Hz version only. Unlike with Nintendo however, we can bypass this simply by creating an US or JP account. (It also grants us access to more games)
 

[..]Personally, I think it's because Nintendo of Europe are bunch of idiots. [..] They should start acting like it and stop treating people in Europe to inferior services.

This is also a problem that doesn't only lie with Nintendo. We have been **** upon by many gaming companies over the years – mainly Japanese companies which simply fail to bring their games to Europe fast enough (even when the only language the game offers is English) or ignore us completely. Also, it is a problem within Europe. Because there are a lot more countries to take into consideration which are pretty different in respect of laws – one of them being the youth public protection law which directly relates to the boards that rate games (at least here in Germany) – but also in terms of media access (including internet access) and the way people handle money.
