If the GBA's release list this year was so great...

[A Black Falcon]

I really don't understand what Nintendo is thinking on this, I really don't... sure the ones that require lots of translation might not be worth the effort, but ones that require none? Nintendo is going out of its way to block things which they shouldn't! I mean seriously... because Austrailia didn't get the Turbografx-16 released there they can't access the TG-16 games unless they set their systems to UK region mode? What the heck? Why in the world would Nintendo DO that? It makes absolutely no sense... all these things to is anger their fans and encourage illegal activity (since emulating those old games is so easy).

The fact that Nintendo has only released the horribe 50hz verions of their games in PAL territories is one of those situations where actions speak louder than words...
