    9 cities counts as a nationwide event? It's a pretty big country.

    26/10 as far as I'm aware. That's just a general 'PAL' date so take it with a pinch of salt.

    It's good to see Nintendo focusing in on the GameCube weakest market more with the Wii, not as if the Wii isn't pwning the PS3 and 360 anyways.

    Nintendo are ignoring middle earth why? Probably because them nasty orcs live there........


    Mike Gee of iZINE said, "...The Verve, as he [Richard Ashcroft] promised, had become the greatest band in the world. Most of the critics agreed with him. Most paid due homage. The Verve were no longer the question mark or the clich�. They were the statement and the definition."

    Tasmania doesn't count as part of the nation? We are a small island (about half the size of England) with a small population (1/2 million), but damn that sucks. That strip of water to the mainland - Bass Strait - really isolates us.Smilie

    ^Nor does the Northern Territory. The thing that really annoys me is that it's always those cities. Every single time. You can look at the last half dozen 'tours' Nintendo have done in Australia and you'll see a near identical list.

    ^^ Being ex-Melbourne, I can tell you that the city is huge. Both those stops are in the south-east (where I used to live and where Nintendo head office is - generally speaking). What about the massive shopping centres in the west, north and east?

    They could try harder.

    Arg, so this has a *much* better showing then the Lipzieg games conferance did then?

    Seriously, all they had to play there was WiiFit and WiiSports.

    No Paper Mario, or Phantom Hourglass.
