PETITION - Split UK Gamers from Europe - to Nintendo

Plus, if they don't have to localise, the UK gets it sooner and then English speakers in other countries can import and still play.

Realistically, everyone who speaks English wins. It's the people who don't that lose out.

exactly and thats the majority of europe because most europeans can speak and read english very well and it's their second language so you see everyone in europe wins even if we got english only pal versions we'd be getting the games in a matter of weeks and not months

But what about the countries who's language doesn't get translated to at all. For example, Dutch isn't a language found in games alot. But we have to wait too. This does NOT make the UK worth more because they speak English. We all have to pick a language at the start of a game, not only UK people.

You know, if someone was to misinterpret the title of the topic, they would think that Nintendo would have the capability of splitting UK from the rest of Europe. So would it be like its own continent or something, then?

Just the UK gamers would be seperated. The rest of the UK would remain where it is.

If I understand this correctly (and someone will surely correct me if I am wrong), Nintendo releases three different versions of a game; a Japanese NTSC, which after translation becomes the US NTSC. Then there is the multilingual PAL version, which is not only about language pack but also converting to a different TV system (NTSC = 59,94Hz/704x480 - PAL = 50Hz/720x576)

This petition wants Nintendo to release a fourth version; a PAL/english only just for the UK(and possibly AUS/NZ?). Ain't gonna happen.

[downphoenix]

if you guys started supporting NTSC, you would probably get games quicker.

Import TVs from US and Japan and get an adapter for your weird 230 or whatever you use.

[PirateThom]

Most TVs here support both PAL and NTSC.

[downphoenix]

Oh. Why do they still insist on PAL then? Who plays a PS3 on a 20 year old TV?

[Red-Blue]

All I know is, I play the exact same this as the NTSC gamers. 60Hz, English.

But I has to wait.

Not to mention the fucking high price.

I don't mean to be funny but doesn't Japan and the US outsell Europe?

I would provide to who bought first. It takes quite a while to make the discs, I would imagine.
