Starting next month, the country that still can’t decide if it’s four individual ones or one unified one (i.e. they still won’t play together in the olympics or world cup) is getting stand alone pink and white 3DS units, Nintendo announced today. Previously, both white and pink were only available in bundle packs.
No word if the company will make these stand-alones available elsewhere. But at least non-Irish Brits (Can I call Northern Irish, Scottish, and Welsh Brits?) are getting something first. That said, does Ireland proper get this stuff when it’s announced for the UK, which I understand it is not a part of but is still a part of Great Britain? I’m so confused. Hi-res pink shot after the break.
[British/English] Unify? With them? Pfft.
British people talk funny.
Great Britain is the one island consisting of England, Wales and Scotland. The United Kingdom consists of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. The British Isles is the whole group of islands but don't ever go calling people from the Republic of Ireland British – whole can of worms there!
And remember that Scottish, Welsh and Irish people all hate the English. Even though us English folk are quite nice and accepting and have no strong feelings towards our neighbours. I personally quite like them.
I want that white one. OMG.
Blake, learn your geography!! And richufc check the History books, thats the reason for any ill feelings towards the English
Still confused:
1. Can I call Scottish, Welsh, and Northern Irish "Brits" since two out of three live in Great Britain?
2. When games are announced for UK, does Ireland have to wait for their own announcement?
UK and Ireland are the same market when i comes to games releases, etc but Republic of Ireland is completly seperate and is not part of Great Britian or the UK!
LOL…loving this informative thread.
Thanks, Cass. So do the Irish get all Guinessed and irate when Nintendo lumps them in with "UK" releases, since they're not part of the UK?
I can totally imagine them saying something like, "Bollocks! Eff the queen, I'm bloody Irish!"
Furthermore, do all Northern Irish Catholics consider themselves "Irish" while all Northern Irish protestants consider themselves "British" and/or loyal to the Queen? And don't even get me started on Celtic vs. Rangers. For such a tiny geographical region, y'all are very cliquish. 🙂
You forgot Sealand! How dare you?!
…I only know about it because of Hetalia, though. Great show, you should all go check it out. The dub is a little…strong, but it's not horrible if you are so adverse to reading subtitles.
Yep your right about the catholics and protestants. With Scotland perhaps getting
independence in the next few years maybe Wales and Northern Ireland will follow suite and that might help solve the problems in the north, although it'll probably take a generation or 2 for it all to be forgot about. As long as it's sorted out peacefully and they're not bombing the crap out of each other like in the old days 😛
I have the white one(mario land bundle), and standalone white is awailable from december 16 in Italy (I am from Croatia, not Italy btw).
Btw White is awesome!
Wow Blake, I know I've defended you in the past from people badmouthing your attitude, but moving from bashing Games onto Nations now? Something agitated you?
