Nintendo says the eShop is “fully compliant with European laws relating to the statutory rights of consumers”
Yesterday, we heard that the Norwegian Consumer Council sent a letter to Nintendo asking for clarification on how to cancel digital pre-orders or create a way to do so as soon as possible. Essentially, the Big N was accused of operating outside of the law.
Nintendo has now provided a statement, and has indicated that it has done no wrongdoing. The full comment reads: “The operation of Nintendo eShop in Europe is fully compliant with European laws relating to the statutory rights of consumers.”
It’s unclear how the Norwegian Consumer Council will proceed. The Council obviously believes that the eShop pre-order policy needs to be addressed, but Nintendo believes that no changes need to be made.
