Europe: Wii hopefuls feel the shortage pain


This week, Nintendo is making its journey into the motion-side complete (spoken in my best Emperor accent) by launching in Australia and Europe, having already finished both the US and Japanese launches. Now the old world is feeling the early shortage pain with many gamers having their preorders delayed until after Christmas, according to the BBC, because Nintendo "didn't ship enough."

In addition to gamer complaints, the article suggests UK retailers are having "problems getting stock from Nintendo." Is the continent getting the supply shaft yet again? Probably. So we at Joystiq are "pouring out a little for our homies" in Yurp. Good luck, mates.
