It's not the first time. Nintendo left Brazil in 2003 due to the same reasons. It came back only in 2011, if I'm not wrong. In the meantime, Brazilian gamers kept on buying Nintendo from imported goods stores or from abroad. The same thing happened with Sony and Microsoft consoles, since they were not officially in Brazil until about 2010. As a matter of fact, many gamers still buy such products from abroad even if they are currently distributed in Brazil, since the official ones are too expensive.

In short, life is not easy for Brazilian gamers, but they will still be buying consoles and playing Nintendo games, definitely.

This really isn't a big deal now that eShop exists.

That's a lame excuse. The taxes are a problem, sure, but Microsoft and Sony have no plans to leave Brazil. The thing is, some companies have smart people working for them, some just don't.

This really isn't a big deal now that eShop exists.

eShop isn't going to help us because it just doesn't work here. Nintendo failed to adapt themselves to the banking regulation that prevents credit cards of major banks, such as Itaú, of performing operations at online stores that feature prices in Brazilian real, but charge in United States dollar.

But the Xbox Games Store and the PlayStation Store work just fine. So, as you can see, Nintendo gave up Brazil way before this. So much respect for their "passionate fans".
