Yes, that is excellent news.

I remember the time when I was walking around London town and in the gaming shops the NES was cheaper than a NES cartridge. (NES = £49.99....NES cart = £50.00 (around $80.00) and upwards).

Nintendo are always the worst rip-off gaming company in Europe, but as said in the book Game Over, Yamauchi was never interested in video games, only in making money as a company. The poduct is irrelevant.

Interestingly, it was the mainland European countries, like Germany and Scandinavia who were getting the worst deal. Paying up to £70 ($105)! for games.

hmmmm. I remember some games costing about 100 bucks, but those were the 'special' ones, with extra stuff in it, like doom. If I remember correctly most mew nintendo games here cost around 60-70 dollars. Still an awful lot.

And nintendo didn't get sued, they got a fine from the EC. That's something different.

"Sued" sounds better than "fined." Which is not "fine" with Nintendo, which is-"sued" a statement about it...
