Germany taking Nintendo to court over no-cancel eShop pre-order policy
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
Dating back to this past February, the Norwegian Consumer Council has been taking issue with Nintendo over its eShop pre-order policy. Nintendo doesn’t allow for cancellations or refunds of titles that have been pre-loaded, which is the main issue here. The Norwegian Consumer Council feels that the policy breaks European law. However, since games can technically be downloaded prior to release, Nintendo believes that there shouldn’t be any issue.
Fast-forward a few months later, and the German Consumer Protection Authority (VZBV) is now taking legal action against Nintendo. Although this started out in Norway, because of where Nintendo of Europe is located, that’s why Germany is getting involved.
Nintendo should be heading to court in roughly three-to-four-weeks. However, it’s possible that we won’t have a proper outcome for over a year.

What was the biggest concern for Game Freak while developing Pokemon: Let’s Go, Pikachu and Pokemon: Let’s Go, Eevee? Apparently how much Switch would sell.
Director Junichi Masuda was interviewed for the game’s Japanese strategy guide, which was then published in the English version. In it, Masuda mentioned that the team started development before Switch launched “so we really couldn’t predict at all whether the console was going to sell well or not.” The team was “quite relieved to see it hit record sales figures” following release.
