Australian Launch Details
Posted on 29/1 by Jim
Being an Australian, I have been eagerly waiting for details of the launch to be announced. When I saw the announcement over at Planet GameCube, I could not help but get just a little excited!
But my excitement soon turned to bitter dissapointment.
First lets start with the date, 17th of May 2002. Why it takes longer to release it here is anyones guess, because as most smart continents should do, we have One Language which should mean that there are no delays in language formatting right? Wrong.
Next up was a bit of good news. Similiar to the European launch, 20 games will accompany the launch, and the Cube will be available in two colours, indigo and purple. But as far as good news goes this is it.
Nintendo don't care about us enough to set a RRP, infact they won't be setting one. It's expected to sell for around $400 Aus. But wait, there's STILL more.
How many launch units were you expecting us to have? 300 000? 200 000? Even 150 000? Forget it, 50 000 units, no there is not meant to be another 0. 50 000, thats it.
This, to be honest guys, is utterly disgraceful. I cannot express how annoyed i am with Nintendo Australia, for crying out loud we dont even have a damn official site anymore.
My advice is to preorder ASAP. Do it now. And face it, Xbox is gonna kick our arse no matter what down here, that's all there is to it. And don't even mention the PS2...
Well like the man says you better hurry up and pre-order with only 50,000 units there not gonna last long.
:wtf:
