Differences between US and European releases?

[Funktion]

A few DS games have small differences between the different editions (I believe one of them is Mr Driller - Drill Spirits; something to do with the multiplayer mode).
Can someone tell me the known differences between different editions, especially European and US releases?

I'm getting kind of tired of waiting an unbelievable number of months for a few games that I want (Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney only in 2006 in Europe???; still waiting for Kirby, ...), always "affraid" they add a little bonus to the European edition (yeah right, NoE loves us...), I guess I'll starting importing more.
If I didn't like Nintendo's games so much I would stop buying Nintendo consoles, Nintendo of Europe always does a terrible job with most releases. I understand games need to be translated, but is there so much text to be translated in Warioware: Twisted, or Kirby: Canvas Curse (aka Power Paintbrush in Europe)?
We pay far more, we never get all those extra pre-order bonus Japanese and US gamers get (in the US it's mostly on PC games though), and we get games late as hell, people sure love the European market...
It's good to be an European gamer. Just look at Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, we have to wait until 2006 and we get the game at £29.99, while in the US it's $29.99 (more or less £17).

Well if you look at it ther other way we got Another Code months before the Americans. We got a few other games as well.

I always used to wait for the European versions but the waiting time we've had to endure for so many games recently is really annoying!

I've just this minute bought Phoenix Wright for £19 from Play-Asia and I've got Trauma Center on the way from VGP for £22. I also got WarioWare: Twisted for £20 from CD-WOW. I can't see any of these games being any different when they get the UK release, apart from the size of the instruction booklet, and I've saved a bit of money and got the games earlier too! :grin:

The other problem is trading them in or selling them after you've finished. Imported games arent as valuable, and you cant even trade thm in at shops for obvious reasons. The thing is, its not just Nintendo (to the guy who said hed stop buying nintendo games) its ALL companies - most of the games people mention here are 3rd party (well some), 95% of people wont even know whats out in America and will see the releases staggered evenly, its onlya few of us who keep uptodate on games and get annoyed that it's out in America way before us. The way it works though, is that when you preorder one game you have to keep doing it, because when youve finished that game, it will have just come out in Europe, so if you want a new game you have to import again!! Repeat to fade!!

The US Mr Driller had no single-cart multiplayer.

Advance Wars DS won't allow multiplayer between the PAL and US versions.

So much for treating Europe 'seriously'

Ah, you see, many of these delays are for sales. They'll shift more games (they think) and more DSes by shoving all the kickass games in the 3 Christmas months, so they're not forgotten by Christmas.
