because nintendo games, unlike ps3 and 360 in most cases, come out weeks, not days later. Always been that way, and yes, it sucks

Nintendo of Europe is weird like that. Heck, Nintendo of America is like that too. Even tough a game is finished, they might not release it until the following year, like Brawl or Sin and Punishment 2.

i assume that because europe has many countries that publishers have to deal with many more legalities - clear everything with their ratings boards and so on.  thats my guess
