4th Gen Recall in Netherlands

[Dark_Espeon]

So... just went out today to buy SoulSilver (finally), and it turns out they've recalled the games in The Netherlands and also in Dutch-speaking part of Belgium. I'm... a little annoyed to say the least.
(News on Nintendo website)

Anyone else have any more info on this? Future release date? Has it been physically released in the UK yet?

 

[El Diabeetus]

That's sad to hear. According to serebii.net, the reason it was recalled was due to the Netherlands version having a Saving Glitch, in a way it sounds like what's going on with the original Gold and Silver, it just won't save. Since Dutch is close to German (I thinK?) Couldn't players order those. I may but, yeah.

 

[Dark_Espeon]

Well, I'm off to England tomorrow so hopefully I can get it there.

After some research, it seems the glitch is to do with saving.

 

[Kuni Kagami]

Woah just like a few years back.
Wish you good luck on your game hunting.

 

[Sora's Nobody]

Yeah! I heard... Not to be mean ut when i heard this i Laughed out loud

 

[CrashSmAshley]

Omg how horrible! I'd be down if I waited so long for something and then it didn't come after all

 

[Ralfisme]

wierd i just heard about it but i was still able to buy my heart gold (yes in a dutch store) the only problem i had was when i started the game it said something about a corupted save file but a quick restart fixed that and im stil able to safe as of now.

 

[Sardonix]

Oh, wow. I wasn't aware that they did a recall on that. That's unfortunate, friend. Hope everything gets better.

Yeah, the Netherlands are next to Germany but...if the bought that they would have do deal with game in a foreign language wouldn't they. Kind of annoying, too.
How long will it be till they get working ones I wonder.

 

[Dimenticato]

Oh no! How awful for you :'( I hope that it's fixed soon!

You think wrong.

English:
Hello my cat. I love you. Who are you? You are John? Hello John. John the cat. Cats are very fun. I want to hold a cat but not a dog!

Dutch:
Hallo mijn kat. Ik hou van jou. Wie bent u? U bent John? Hallo John. John de kat. Katten zijn erg leuk. Ik wil een kat te houden, maar geen hond!

German:
Hallo meine Katze. Ich liebe dich. Wer sind Sie? Sie befinden sich John? Hallo John. John die Katze. Katzen sind sehr lustig. Ich möchte eine Katze zu halten, aber nicht ein Hund!

All say the same thing. Probably some small grammatical errors. Oh well.

This sucks, and lets me laugh at my Dutch friends who have been waiting forever. :D Of course, I am just joking and I wish them to get HG/SS as soon as possible.

you all wanna know what the bug is? according to some people it's just the cartridge that's a little bit dirty or there is some plastic on it, you can just clean it and *pow* it's fixed, and for that they recalled al games from (almost) all stores and destroyed them! i'm going to a store tomorrow where they still have it and where there were no complains from costumers, but if you buy a game (note: only hg glitches) and it doesn't work you can trade it immediately for one that does. i must say i'm very dissapointed, i waited 216 days for this game and exactly on the release date the CANCEL it, **********, that's just wrong

dus aan iedereen die nederlands spreekt, je bent niet alleen! ps: vraagje, wij ebben toch precies dezelfde (language) games als in uk, onze spellen zijn toch niet in het Nederlands, dus oe komt et dat zij dat probleem niet hebben?

..

Whoever told you that is completely full of it. :| There is a glitch in the game that makes it so it wont recognize the save file. That's what wrong. Not a piece of plastic.

 

[GlitchCity]

I just read that on serebii.net. I feel sorry for you guys :[ Hopefully something like this wont happen again

 

[Zebeedoo]

Oh no. D= That sucks. I'm really sorry. D= It's worth the wait though, and if you get it tomorrow, have fun playing it. =D

 

[Ralfisme]

what i want to know is if i can get any problems later on i bought mine today and i dont have any problems as of yet (except for when i started the game for the first time) and now i hear al this stuff about bugs so i'm kind of worried now.

Yeah, I wasn't 100% sure. Shows what I, the typical American, knows about foreign languages. Ironically, I'm actually interested in (and hope to learn) foreign languages too, well at least German and Japanese.

Still, that sucks for Dutch players. Hopefully, NoE fixes that soon.
