Nintendo love Europe, I know they do! :D

From Spong:

It has come to light that Nintendo Europe has dropped the e-Reader from its release schedule, in news that comes as another blow to beleaguered Euro Nintendo fans.

Hot on the heels of news that a PAL version of acclaimed life sim Animal Crossing will get an Australian release, Nintendo has confirmed that the e-Reader has been indefinitely bumped from its release plans.

And this comes to us the day after Nintendo America announced theyâ₠¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢ll be giving the thing away for free!

This news also poses some serious questions as to the content of several of Nintendoââ‚à ƒâ€šÃ‚¬ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¾Ã‚¢s games, not least Mario Advance 4, the Super Mario Bros 3 re-make due to hit our shores later this year. As you may know, several levels and other goodies are to be unlocked via e-Reader. If thereââ‚ƚ¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢s no e-Reader, does that mean a smaller game in Europe? Or will NOE shoulder the development costs involved in implementing a complete version, out of the box?
