It is because game companies, especially Japanese ones, haven't quite realized the world is actually one big place, instead of several places that are totally isolated from each other. It is bullshit and has been for years.

Yeah, it seems only Japanese game companies are the ones who do this shit still. For almost everything else the difference is usually no more than a few days, though. It's not a big deal for me as I hardly ever buy Nintendo games, but it's a silly way to release games regardless. Or maybe there is some other reason for why games are being released in that fashion?

Outdated views and an unwillingness to change. Japan is pretty well known for being resistant to change and modernization, which gets silly when you think about it.

Are we really sure this is the main branch's call and not just the individual call of NoA vs. NoE? They're the ones publishing it.

Yeah, might be you're right. Still, it's a bit weird.

Not sure, but the Japanese release is the same date as Europe's. I don't think it's a localization issue at least. Marill's probably right about Smash interfering with Pokemon sales, but newly released games don't usually go on sale for Black Friday.

Yeah I learned this after. Even if it doesn't go on sale, it's a day that a lot of people do their shopping and I'm sure Wii U's will be on sale which will look like a better buy with Smash Bros sitting in the case next to it. I'm pretty convinced it's due to Black Friday.

I didn't even think of that. Kinda sad considering I just saw this picture posted somewhere.

Yeah, Black Friday is the reason a ton of major games drop in November. We all know this though.

As for that release date, it surprises me that Nintendo is willing to have two high profile releases the same day. I'd have to think that Smash and ORAS having the same release date will cannibalize the sales of both to some degree. Normally I'd get both day one, but I'd rather get Persona Q and the definitive version of Smash than a Pokemon game I've already played.

I believe the same thing happened last year with Super Mario 3D World and Link Between Worlds around the same time. 3D World came out first in America in line with LBW and then a while later over here. It might have been X/Y, not 100% sure.

On a more serious note, Olinea suggested the idea of a tournament using only newcomers in a round-robin fashion. How do you guys feel about this? The ruleset obviously hasn't been standardised or fixed yet but it sounds like it'd be fun.
