Nintendo of Korea WRU?

Almost three weeks ago, Nintendo was supposed to have opened its Korean branches. Yet, as the Korea Times reports, Nintendo is not even close to setting up shop.

In an e-mail sent to the KT, Nintendo acknowledged that they "have not come up with a concrete idea about the operation schedule, so unfortunately we are not able to advise you as to when the company will start its business."

With 25 billion won invested (approximately US $26.3 million), you would think Nintendo would have a game plan. Until they get their act together, Nintendo products will continue to be distributed by the much-maligned (even by the Korea Times' admission) Daiwon.

While the Korean gaming scene is still dominated by online gaming, this can only prove to be a bad move on Nintendo's part.
