Hopefully Super Mario Galaxy hits Europe in the same month, it's almost like a worldwide release then. Compared to when it would take months, sometimes years before a game came out localization is getting much faster. Also we got Super Paper Mario first! @Veilknight - Agreed.

Not a bad trade off I'd say, as thankfully the release dates aren't very far away. In all honestly, I'm glad Nintendo is taking an extra incentive to release their games across the globe not so far apart, it makes the waiting period of each title less of a hassle. Unfortunately, Europe is once again shafted as far as release dates are concerned. They're probably used to this predicament by now, but that certainly doesn't make the wait any less painful.
