An attempt by German and Norwegian consumer authorities to declare Nintendo's eShop pre-order practices illegal under European law (Nintendo prevents consumers from cancelling a pre-order once made) has been dismissed, with a German court ruling in Nintendo's favour.
The Norwegian Consumer Council initially raised concerns over Nintendo's digital sales practices back in February 2018, claiming the company was in breach of European law.
Ordinarily, European consumers have the right to cancel a pre-order at any time before a game's release, but Nintendo insists eShop users waive that right prior to any purchases by ticking a box stating, "I consent that Nintendo begins with the performance of its obligations before the cancellation period ends. I acknowledge that I thereby lose my right to cancel."
