Too expensive, games don't run on PAL properly, games took like ages to come here so the NES was a nogaems machine. In bongistan it was cheaper just to buy a Spectrum or some shit ans play vidya there.
>>
>>388989746
Sports. Literally no one buys anything other than that on PS.
This is a place where finding good people is easy, if they know Nintendo they are in it for the games and probably know more, if not then they are dudebros or casuals.

It's that simple.

higher IQ versus amerislaves

>>388989746
Allegedly, Nintendo did not give a shit about Europe in the 90s. That was a mistake.
>>
>>388990241
Did Nintendo actually release ONE PAL game that run at the correct speed (and different framerate)?
>>
>>388989746
Cause the EU isn't entertained by kid toys like the US.
>>
>>388991397
they are more orientated towards shitposting about kids toys
the truly mature choice

the eu incentivizes eu devolved games which aren't predominately released on nintendo consoles

Europe was the original PC masterrace.
Even SEGA, which basically ruled Europe until Sony came around, was still seen as kiddie shit outside of the arcades, mostly because Virtua Fighter and DAYTONAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA LET'S GO AWAY! weren't on whatever PC you could have at the time.
Europe was basically PC/C64/Amiga/SEGA turf until Sony happened, and Nintendo didn't really try hard, possibly because they would also have to deal with too many countries and different legislations/trade rules, so maybe it wasn't worth it when they still had the USA as their personal playground.
>>
>>388989746
sports. that's it.
>>
Is it? If so then I would imagine it is because of widespread bad taste.

please give us ROMPF
>>
They need more soccer games
>>
Because Mario and Zelda are seen as games for children. The Wii was fairly popular though
>>
>>388991345
In the Gamecube era some had a 50/60hz selector in the options, same as most PS2 games.
What REALLY hurts and makes me pirate whenever I can is that the damn VIRTUAL CONSOLE games are capped to the wrong speed, which means bomb jumps in Super Metroid suddenly get hard because the audio/visual timing is off and such.
>>
>>388989746
it was popular in 90s when vietnamese sold NES in SNES cases for about 10 euros and cartridges, usually 100 in 1, for about 2€, then playstation came and nintendo fell into obscurity until pokemon
>>
>>388989746
I think only the Wii and the handhelds have been succesful. Everyone knows Pokemon and Mario but no one wants to play it
>>
>>388989746
Nintendo doesn't have Fifa games.
>>
>>388990278
This is how you know an actual european is talking about games.
>>
>>388993362
No, I meant 50hz games running at the same SPEED but with less FRAMES. Crash and Jak games all ran at the same speed in Europe.
>>
>>388989746
Because the stupid slant eyed motherfuckers do not bring games like Tales of Abyss here. Instead force us to hack their stupid devices to pass retarded region locks.

Fuck Nintendo & their retarded decisions.
Fuck all console peddlers in general.
>>
Because they don't make games and consoles worth playing.
>>
>>388993362
If it makes you feel better they stopped doing that for the 3DS SNES games.
>>
it's not unpopular, only EU is treated like shit by most companies from JP or US. games often takes ages to be released here and are almost always censored or otherwise altered "to fit"... that's the real cancer I can't get my head around and understand, also the geolock and ninny is pricey as hell
>>
>>388994063
>Because the stupid slant eyed motherfuckers do not bring games like Tales of Abyss here
What?
But that WAS brought here
>>
>>388994353
Wait, what? For real?
>>
>>388989746
>Implying it isn't
Just the gamer girl demographic is already enough to make it popular enough.

Why does Nintendo have no presence in Asia outside of Japan?
>>
>>388994607
Yeah, I've seen a copy a few times in my local CeX and I've also played a friend's copy.
Never got around to owning it myself though

Either way it was available in Europe.

>>388994950
Oh well fuck, I was actually looking for it recently.
And could not find a single one that was EU version.
Even had a fucker try sell me the American as EU.
>>
1. no fifa games
2. they can only afford 1 system
>>
>>388995173
No 2. PS4 and PC.
>>
>>388995228
eurocucks have shitty laptops, that's not a gaming PC
>>
less autists than america
>>
>>388995084
I've run into similar situations myself to be honest. I had no idea Persona Q had a physical release here for example because you know, Atlus hates us.
>>
>>388995261
A shitty laptop is enough for 99% of PC exclusives.
>>
>>388991260
It seems quite likely this is a fact.
>>
Nintendo never did anything to endear themselves to the European audience.
During the crash, Europe was PC country
Then the 90s hit they were a PC and Sega country
Then 2000s hit and they became a PC/Sony country.
Nintendo hasn't ever been important in Europe.
>>
>>388989746
Eastern Europe is too poor and too busy playing CS 1.6 and DOTA
Western Europe is has shit taste in general and is too busy committing suicide
>>
>>388990393
must suck to be europoor, and have to make shit up like this to feel good
>>
>>388991260
>in the 90s

they never started giving a shit

europeans are literally homosexuals
though I've noticed that yurops who DO like nintendo are easily the worst of the nintendo fans
>>
>>388989746

Europeans aren't stupid and can see through the miasma of Nintendo bullshit. /thread
>>
>>388992949
This. The 1983 video game crash didn't happen in Europe because nobody owned consoles. Nintendo is basically popular in Japan and the US/Canada

Pokemon has a large following in China at least.
>>
>>388994710
They do in SK, but the rest of Asia fucking hates Nips so why would they buy their games?
>>
>>388989746
Because they have good taste.
