![]() ![]() Really ridiculous, so I feel your pain and it was no surprise to me that the de facto standard in Australia among people I knew tended to be to pirate games. $100 (£40) for a new console game, $80 (£32) for a new GBA/DS game. However, I noticed that Australian salaries were generally 2/3-3/4 of UK salaries for the same job due to lower cost of living at the time, yet games cost the equivalent of the higher UK price point and always stuck at a set conversion rate i.e. I don't know why the UK is still seen as too small a market to make a region of UK, Australia and NZ and keep mainland Europe seperate. Just for you Aussies, I lived in Australia for 2 years 03-05, often a game that was available in English (in America) would come out in Australia far before Europe on XBox, because it didn't need to be translated into over 9000 different languages, which was a really good thing. Put a banner across the channel like with the Nintendo Channel saying "A Monkey Island Game just came out" and I can pretty much guarantee the sales will go through the roof. advertise the updates to the Wii Shop channel a bit more. Wouldn't that have made more sense? Admittedly this has been a ridiculously good week for the Wii Shop despite that (Lost Winds Sequel and Bit Trip Void announced with trailers, Internet Channel update and becomes free) but would it have been that hard to have something for AU to download at all this week?Īnd while I am at it. Maybe they could have pushed Pilotwings back a bit to fill in the gap. ![]() Surely they would have noticed that because of this Australia gets no Wii update this week. This week we get nothing because for some reason Contra Rebirth wasn't suitable for an Australian Launch. In the two weeks before this we got Araknoid Plus, Bit Trip Core, Pilotwings, Mr Driller W and Texas Hold'em Poker on the Wii. Surely they could have spread it out more evenly. You can also use the DSi's camera to take an actual picture of a word, although of course this just makes us wonder if it will suffer from the same horrible recognition as WarioWare Snapped! For 800 DSi Points it's also fairly expensive for a simple application. As the name implies, you can enter words from one of six languages and translate them to any of the others - The contained languages are English, French, German, Spanish, Italian and Japanese. In the meantime, it costs 1000 Wii Points, and you can read Sean's first impressions again if you're not so sure yet.Īlthough it has its uses, we can't imagine anyone has been highly anticipating Dictionary 6 in 1 with Camera Function. ![]() And yes, the franchise has been known as Contra in Europe for a while now, so you'll play as humans - Not the Probotectors! We'll review the game this weekend. ![]() As usual, there's also a two-player mode and even crazier difficulty levels to select. Once again you've got to blast through numerous stages with a variety of weapons, without getting hit - Every single enemy attack will take you out in one hit. Aside from the previously announced Contra Rebirth things in Europe this week are pretty abysmal - Just one other new downloadable thing and it's another DSiWare application with highly limited use!Ĭontra Rebirth is almost bound to be a great pick - It seems very similar to Contra III/Super Probotector on the SNES in terms of graphical style, which means you're bound to get a nostalgic kick out of it. ![]()
