Well, apparently England is the 3rd largest consumer of video games and consoles, with Japan and America being first and second respectively. Hence there is no reason why we should be bundled with Europe, and made to wait with them for their silly translations and all the rest of it. We should SPLIT from Europe in terms of video game releases, and join with America.

And the CONSOLE, or the wire from the console to the TV, should handle the different type of signal.

Oh yeah, and to go back to the first message, the European release date is foreign to TMK...
Anyway, you guys in England got a better version of Luigi's Mansion! See what you get by waiting for them to think of better features and stuff?

I don't have a signature.

Why? I don't regard America as foreign as they speak the same language there as we do. England is the original mother country, anyway!

England is the "original mother country" ? Where'd you get this tidbit of information?

Suddenly, a small light glowed. A candle flickered into life, symbol of hope for millions. A single tiny candle, shining in the ugly dark. I laughed, and blew it out.

Face it, we're foreign to each other. Like it or not. We dont speak the same language, no offense, there's some words in your vocab that we dont use. ANd vice versa. So stop complaining and be glad that you at least get the game at all. There could be no nintendo at all.

It''s-a me, Mario !

Frostbite: You know England was here first, and colonised America. I wish there had never been that stupid War of Independence. Anyway, we DO speak mostly the same language. I regard the French and Germans as foreigners, not the Americans. I know Americans who'd say the same thing about English people - Americans are just a different type of English people really. Hehe...

Hey avengah, you're acting kinda like this guy I know who said they should release the games in America before they do in Japan. Oh, and you are on the continent of "Europe", and I am on the continent of "North America." It's kind of a long way off.

I decided to go hire a signature... but he charged too much, so I fired him. Yeah, him.

But our countries are very similar in many ways, much more so than say the French and Germans (ugh).

Seriously, though, why can't the companies go for simultaneous release, like they did with Sonic 2? And they wonder why normal English fans get ****ed off with games companies. The delays for games such as Banjo-Tooie, and for the Gamecube, of about half a year, are unacceptable. It doesn't take that long.

Dude, why are you just randomly bashing other countries, like France and Germany? Not cool. And "foreign" isn't a bad thing, as yes, we ARE foreign to each other. England and America are very different. Australia is different from us both, and they also speak English. Canada's different from . . . well, you guys. Heh. Even from us the further up you get. And hey, India was also a colony of England. Are they not foreigners?

Oh, and although America was originally a colony of England, that doesn't mean everyone here is of English or even European descent. A racist teacher of mine made the same mistake and got me VERY angry. Americans can be foreign to EACH OTHER, really . . .

I live in the middle of the US and I was down in Florida a few weeks back and everybody there called carbonated beverages "soda" and I always call it "pop". It really bugged me. Oh yeah, that was an example of Americans being foreign to each other. Oh, and I'm German and Scotch.

hum... Mario & Luigi are of Italian origins... Italy should come first in release dates... LOL

Mario games with an Italian translation could be an idea too... provided that such transl is not made by jap's :)

It's-a penalty kick!

Look, avangah, I have a friend who was BORN in Germany, and I am BOTH a quarter French and a quarter German! Don't try that "we are more related to each other than Germany and France" crap on me!

Watch out! I got tons of stamina in arguements!
