It's easier for Nintendo of Europe to switch over everyone than to stock and supply 2 versions of every product. Also I'd bet most of their sales come from the EU countries where the replaceable battery requirement is forcing this new SKU deployment anyways.
replyNorway is in the ECC together with Iceland, but for some reason Iceland is not on the list where these SKUs will be available.
replyThat's probably because Iceland is not an official Sales-territory of Nintendo, it's handled by Bergsala AB, a swedish distributor which serves the market there.
replyIt's everywhere Nintendo of Europe (the subsidiary in the EU) operates.
replyThis makes sense - thanks!
replyStorage, and distribution costs.
