NCC files formal complaint against Nintendo for inability to cancel eShop pre-orders
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
Earlier in the year, the Norwegian Consumer Council called out Nintendo for its eShop policies. Currently, it’s impossible to cancel pre-orders at any point before launch.
Despite asking Nintendo to change its ways and comply with the rules, the NCC says nothing has happened. A formal complaint is now being filed against Nintendo as well as a few other gaming companies. The company is said to be going against the 2011 Consumer Rights Directive that grants “a higher level of protection for consumers … in their own country or elsewhere in the EU.”
NCC’s Finn Lützow-Holm Myrstad stated that breaching Norwegian and European consumer contracts “shows a lack of clarity”.

Dorasu has announced its third adult title for Switch, Jyun Den Ai (Watashi no Hitomi o Mi Te!) ~ Moe Yamauchi ~, which is coming to Japan next week. It currently has a release date of May 3.
This is the third such title Dorasu is bringing to Switch. Previous games have you “calling” the model, viewing messages, and checking out pictures. While they initially tend to be priced at 500 yen, extra DLC is needed to experience everything.
Thanks to m_t for the tip.

Giles Goddard is one of the very few non-Japanese people who have worked at Nintendo’s Japanese headquarter. He’s probably most famous for working on games like Star Fox and Stunt Race FX with fellow Brit Dylan Cuthbert with their company Argonaut Software. Eurogamer just published an interview with Goddard on what it was like working for and at Nintendo in the 90s. Make sure to read the full interview here; below are a couple of interesting excerpts:

Atlus website now lists 3DS as Persona Q2’s platform
Posted on 6 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
There’s been a bit of confusion over Persona Q2 during the last couple of days, specifically the game’s platform. It turns out that the website in question had always listed the game’s platform as “To be determined” ever since the game was announced and didn’t remove any mention of the 3DS. Still, it seems like Atlus caught wind of the rumors and the confusion and wanted to put an end to them. As such, the website now clearly lists “Nintendo 3DS” as Persona Q2’s platform.
Hopefully we will get some actual news on the game soon as Atlus has been quiet about it ever since its announcement last August. Perhaps it will be featured in one of the Treehouse Live segments at E3 in June.
