Dear Mr. Rickets,
While I am sure you cannot know for certain, or even release information on the subject, I was wondering about something. Do you think in your honest opinion, and going on opinion alone, will Nintendo release such Killer-App titles like 'Metroid Prime 3: Corruption', 'Super Smash Bros. Brawl' and 'Battalion Wars II' at the same time in Europe as in the United States of America? Your honest opinion based on previous release dates will perfectly suffice for my curiosity.
Thank you for your time,
Aaron Hastings

Hello,
While I'd like to help you I don't even really have on opinion on this subject. Here at Nintendo of America, I don't have any information on European release dates to compare what's happened in the past. Traditionally, most games are released in Japan, then the Americas, then Europe. The time difference varies so much from game to game it's impossible to say what games will release close in all areas and which games will see a delay (normally for localization). Metroid Prime 3 Corruption is being developed here in the U.S. so we're likely to see it here first. Smash Bros. Brawl is being developed in Japan, and we don't even have a release date yet. I will say that with the launch of Wii, Nintendo has focused on the global market has a whole, more that we ever have before.
To find product release information for your own country, I suggest that you contact the authorized distributor for your region. To do so, please visit the Corporate area of our website:

So while this man is going on opinion alone, he firmly believes that Wii release dates are going to be similar in all areas. So let's just throw aside the Super Paper Mario thing for now and call it a fluke, eh?

i've learned not to get my hopes up, but if they do i'll be happy.
