Nikkei slips from 6-wk high on euro zone reality check

TOKYO: Japan's Nikkei share average fell more than 1 percent on Tuesday from a six-week high after Wall Street shares slid on concerns that Europe's solution to its debt crisis may not be as fast and comprehensive as some had hoped for.

The Nikkei fell 1.6 percent to 8,738.35, while the broader Topix index lost 1.5 percent to 750.36.
