"[Rant] Still a day away for EU ... can we talk about Nintendo/Game Freak a bit?"

I'm increasingly frustrated with Nintendo's decision to have EU wait five days longer than NA and Japan for absolutely no apparent reason apart from the someone-in-EU-leaked-XY-earlier-so-let's-screw-all-of-EU.Not only because the games have been sitting in probably everyone's gaming shop since last Friday, but also because obviously someone was going to break the release date, screwing Nintendo's opinion of Europe further. Nintendo is absolutely, 100% to blame for all the release breaks in EU right now.Plus not all shops take part in the release break, so some of us are lucky to get the game, some aren't. Seems like Nintendo has been phoning lots of shops to absolutely not sell the games before tomorrow, which they have every right to do - but then again, I can't understand what the hell Nintendo was thinking.In this day and age and with the availability of the EU versions easily provided, I do wonder why Nintendo hasn't gotten more flack for this horrible release schedule. Plus I'm not sure what they thought would happen when they gave France, but only France, the okay to sell earlier. citationneededI'm 26 years old, so I can handle waiting a few days longer fine, I'm pretty busy anyway.That being said I really cannot grasp my head around why Nintendo did the way the did.Rant over via /r/pokemon http://ift.tt/2fYqT4q
