God of War III - It only does girlfriend neglect
17 hours 47 mins ago
We know Japan makes a heck of a lot of our games these days. But they have kept many games to themselves. There are many games that are only sold IN JAPAN. Thankfully we have the Halo Series, Call of Duty and FIFA, but who knows what kind of games would rule the screens if japan had given us the other games.
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.

Afrika also looks kind of good.
And Afrika will indeed come out in NA eventually, I'm sure...
Railfan though? From what I've heard, it is really dull (well, to be expected). Only die-hard Railroad fans would actually like it...
YES to X-edge though
Yeah, heard of the Jump game....A bit tempting, but unless the gameplay is great, I wouldn't bother.
Jump Ultimate Stars would definitely be sweet to have here. I know a mostly translated version was circulating..
I have Mother 3 and JUS imported actually XD
Of course, most of their games do come in English, but pining away for the cool-looking Final Fantasy games for long months and then having to wait ANOTHER SIX MONTHS for it to come to North America isn't fun. The Europeans get an even shorter ended stick. Having to wait like 9 months... /facepalm
Do even know how little of there games came out in PAL regions during the NES/SNES days? The first Final Fantasy game we got was FFVII. Chrono Trigger's 4th remake/port on DS will be the first time in comes to PAL regions. Super Mario RPG? We had to wait 12 years until it was final released on Virtual Console.
And you think you guy have it bad.
Don't forget that Japan is NTSC too. I'm not sure how a "coversion" from PAL to NTSC would work (you know, if it turned into something like going from SAE to metric) but it would certainly make matters easier for video games.
It also fails for not mentioning Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom.
