PAL Mario replacement plan!!!

Nintendo has confirmed the existance of the glitch in certain copies of Super Paper Mario released in Europe. A replacement plan will be announced soon. http://computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=172314PAL Mario replacement plan!!!
woops. very unlike nintendo. even worse considering the time difference between its US and EU release. how did this get past them? anywho i think im affected by it....the game has locked up once so far....first time ive ever seen my wii lock up.wish they could just patch it..less hassle for everyone. alas....ill keep an eye on this..thanks for the info TC.PAL Mario replacement plan!!!
ally they did notice it. It's the reason for the delay. When you add multiple languages to a game you can cause logic errors due to missing or erroneous text. When they were under the delay some programmer forgot to fix the bug. Due to Euro trade laws every game has to have several languages on it. This delays games quite considerbly because due to the potential of bugs being introduced whenever a language is put onto the game. Doesn't matter when even 20 years ago this caused enourmous problems. It's not a size issue it's just plain and simple programming. People honestly have no idea what goes into localization of a game. It's often one of the most costly and time consuming part of bringing over a game. Some teams are 20 people for just one language and the game could take over a year. It's sometimes much easier to build a new game then localize it. As for glitchy game releaseshappens to every company. Quite a number of PS2 games got very severe glitches and had to be exchanged. The recent Guilty Gear release in Japan for example. Several xbox games, several pc and even several xbox 360 games have had bigger game breaking bugs.Most people never encounter bugs like this one because they don't do what the minority does. Most people found the key, didn't talk to mimi they used the key bypassing the glitch. Same with the cannon room in tp in the US. Most people didn't save in that area nor the testers so they didn't encounter the glitch that killed progress.
Wow, thanks a lot for the info, man! I'll wait a while before I get my copy, then.
