also: would you please add some additional what exactly is wrong with their site
-no club nintendo
-no advertisment of 3DS on the first page, let alone 3DS XL (yet DSi is hanging there)
-3 or 4 news updates every 3 months
-why can't we get any information how to buy eshop cards? Oh yeah, they are no existent here
-WiiU? What is WiiU? Nintendo Poland has no idea
thank you. people will talk, phones ring and blood shed. Anyone else contactin Ninty about this?

I like how they updated the english version not since the dsi but the german version mentions the 3ds. I bet that says enough.
I got this reported on go nintendo.
Random fact: Even during Euro 2012 (where million of tourists where coming from everywhere) retailers felt the need to not restock a single nintendo product.
Random fact 2: Kid Icarus does not exist on the nintendo site either.
Ragus mentioned a few of them.
I noticed:
- lack of KidIcarus,
- lack of promotion of exclusive titles such as resident evil.
- Last story? Nah whats that. Pandoras tower?
- Eshop?Pushmo? Rolling western?
- No mention on how you can connect to e-shop, no mentions of how to buy things on e-shop
- Take a look at there news section: http://www.nintendo.pl/news (E3 is still the newest thing)
If they cant even advertise/inform things properly on their own site, how will they advertise and function in the real world.

What did you expect? We're called "Mexico of Europe" for a reason.
Naprawde lol? (Really)?
Didnt Nortec have a fall out with Plasio recently? The ceased all Nintendo Products. Do you know why? Was it something about the Nintendo site somehow managing to selling their products a bit cheaper then plaisio?

To byl sarkazm?
Nintendo did change distributer in Poland a few years ago; hoping things will improve (I think this was after complaints), However I doubt they new that this company would had been even more crap then the last one.
I think nortec is a very good example. They had a humongous transformation over the last two years (hell they even made die hard sony fanboy friend to buy a Wii). They do some adverting, create events and other stuff. They even opened a forum, where they respond to you in person, and also they respond to you in person in the 2nd biggest Greek Nintendo forum. They have conversations with you. They even repaired my friends console that has been over warranty period for free.
Every single time I go to Poland I cant buy a single game. Some store owners don't even know whats a 3ds They look at me like I'm a Weirdo My polish friend is also into Nintendo stuff, and he also had enough of this.
Just in case some people are wondering; Im polish, My home is in Greece, I study in England
Ah I thought it was some kind of cultural thing xD I didn't know about.

Fair enough, damn it's weird to post on GAF in language other than English.
What do you expect? Nintendo have never been big here. Before Australia took over the distribution rights were with Softprint Interactive who went bankrupt back in 2008. We're a tiny, tiny market in which Nintendo are constantly last place.
Yeah, that shit with removing star points happened a few years ago. That was fucking sad. Fortunately, at least we do not have to worry about this anymore.
Oh, and I have a quiz for all of you guys:
You're in Poland and you go to the biggest hardware/software shop in Warsaw. On the shelf you have a brand new copy of Mario Kart DS and Mario Kart 7. Guess which one is cheaper...
yeah ._.

I know that this is an old thread and all, but today something BIG happened.
Stadlbauer is known for doing stupid things, but today they have surpassed themselves. Tomorrow, Pokemon B/W2 launches in my country. Stadlbauer fucked up so badly, that instead of supplying polish market with english verions of those games, they are supplying our market with german versions.
My god, what a trainwreck they are. Here, look at the photos:
(photos have watermarks, because I sent them to some polish websites, because I want to warn as many people in my country as I can).

Heh, me too (also hearing that the situation is the same in Italy my other ancestral home)... I've always fathomed Poland as PC-land, probably due to a cross between famous ex-poster Borys and CDPR's games.
Totally digging the profile pic on the Nintendo Poland page:
It isn't a multi-lingual version?
Alexios
Cores, shaders and BIOS oh my!
Only a bit better in Greece (yes, before the crisis too). But on top of that they're more overpriced so it's a loss overall. They don't do much advertising, totally missed the Wii/DS casual train that imo could have boomed here. Alas Greece remained Sony land. Support isn't nearly as good as Nintendo proper, Nintendo should somehow quality control the companies chosen to do this.
Nope.
