Yummy new DS bundles not coming to Europe

Qu'une surprise! It turns out that Europe won't be getting those rather ace new DS bundles that we originally covered on Monday. Eurogamer got on the dog and bone to Nintendo's European arm to inquire about whether the Zelda and Nintendogs-themed handhelds would see the light of day here, and promptly got a big fat "No"/"Non"/"Nein"/"Nyet" for their troubles.

In fact, yours truly was tempted to use this news as a platform for a wild-eyed rant about how Nintendo hates Europe (and how that's actually quite strange, all things considered) but heck, that particular horse has been firmly flogged into a fine pulp by now.

"Qu'une surprise"? If you mean to say, "what a surprise!", that would be translated "quelle surprise!"

It's not much different from behaviour of many other foreign companies over here...

If you would only see the local prices - you would understand it all.
