Are Japanese licensed games of better quality than US developed ones? That's the question that theGamerbuzz tries to explore: Why do Japanese licensed games seem to be better?
Check out the newest episode of Big in Japan with Richard Eisenbeis. He reviews Jump Ultimate Stars, which is basically Smash Bros with Manga characters from Shonen Jump.
"There´s been a lot of talk in recent days about Japanese game development having lost its edge in the face of the West´s forward momentum. Balderdash, we say! Partially because "balderdash" is a criminally underused term. But it also has a lot to do with the fact that plenty of folks are still importing their games. This is great for those of us with region-free consoles who can understand and read Japanese. Unfortunately that´s a rather small number, relatively speaking."
