Nintendo pulls out of Leipzig

European Nintendo fans eager to attend the biggest gaming show in all of Europe, take note. Nintendo has decided not to attend this year's show. Considering they had a great show last year, we honestly can't understand why Nintendo would back out. Their new focus will be to participate in "smaller, local events and national promotional tours."

Any of our European readers saddened by this news? Were you planning on attending the show in Germany this year?

Nintendo is in an unconfortable position.

They're making loads and loads of money off of "Casual" Gamers, and have entirely forgotten the people who got them there.

Obviously, no grandmas are gonna show up in that convention, which must've been one of the reasons that prompted Nintendo to opt out..
