Nintendo speaks on Internet Euro e-Reader lies
Over-reactive reports show Nintendo rage
Speaking to us this evening, Nintendo Europe has sought to clarify the reports stemming form a UK news source that the acclaimed e-Reader GBA add-on had been canned for the territory.
“The launch of the E-Card Reader in Europe has been moved into the first half of 2004, as Nintendo‘s focus for the remainder of 2003 is the strong software release schedule for both the Nintendo GameCube and the Game Boy Advance,” said a spokesperson, scuppering supposedly concrete proof that the device had been binned.
Nintendo insiders have today spoken of the fact that the news breaking earlier this week regarding the e-Reader slippage was entirely wrong. “This whole thing was purely reactionary and quite ridiculous. The e-Reader was never scrapped for Europe and the fact that it was reported otherwise is shocking. This is just a slippage, as happens all the time. To tout it as a snubbing to Europeans was a shamelessly cynical thing to do.”
So there you have it. e-Reader justice for all. Now, if we keep up that Animal Crossing campaign… And if that works, we’ll eat two hats. Big ones too. Like cowboy hats, or those really big ones sported by drunken women at Ascot.
