Section: Card-E Reader

Updated 21st: It looks like the e-reader has not been canned, just simply removed from release lists- to be repositioned or something. Click more to see our original Daily Mail style scare story.

This news item is more than 45 days old. Updates are unlikely and newer information may already be available.

Of course, this could all change, but the very trustable CVG are claiming this.

Mentions of the E-Reader have been removed from all Nintendo Europe release date lists- CVG also claim that an NOE representative has confirmed this.

Annoyingly for us ("us" being 4/5 of the admins, whom its fair to say spend most of our time in Europe), the E-Reader is already out in Japan (in fact, it's on its second incarnation, which is actually the USA's first), America and even Austrailia, which in terms of market size, is like comparing the sizes of President Palmer in 24 (Europe) to the tallest person out of the rest of the cast (Austrailia).

If anything else develops out of this, such as influenza, we'll keep you posted.
