Never play Global servers in Mario Kart. It will be a full lobby of Japanese players and they will be infinitely better at the game than you

Luckily i can play Regional Europe. Everyone in Europe is just as shit as me, and with so many countries in the region it is fun to see a huge amount of different flags. I imagine it is more boring for US regional, facing US players and sometimes Canadian & Mexican

Nintendo doesn't have an especially strong market in South Korea, surprisingly enough.

9

u/ArtieKnightYT64 Jan 22 '25

I think this dates back to a post-WW2 trade restriction between South Korea and Japan

11

u/[deleted] Jan 22 '25

it does. Sega had to release the Dreamcast through Hyundai back in the day in South Korea due to trade restrictions between the two and other protectionist economic policies at the time from the South Korean government. This was also a similar issue in Brazil

9

u/cuba200611 Jan 22 '25

South Korea used to have a ban on Japanese products from what I know.

As for Brazil, they place a heavy tariff on imported electronics (which is why an IPhone costs over $1200 USD there), so what Sega did is that they licensed production of their consoles to a company there called Tec Toy.

4

u/[deleted] Jan 22 '25

Yes. South Korea also had protectionist economic policies at the time like Brazil did which partially contributed to the licensing of foreign products to local companies as well in general, though the Sega example was due to the Japanese product ban. Both countries were previously under military dictatorships which is where many of these policies stemmed from.

3

u/A1phaAstroX Jan 22 '25

Not much India is expected

The Nintendo consoles are super super expensive here ( import costs + taxes on import + luxury taxes + taxes on buying+ inflation)

Save for some really affluent people not many people have Nintendo
