Don't feel too bad about it. You have easy access in Japan to everything else a gamer could possibly want; don't go crazy over just one thing. You should feel very, very lucky.

Surprised that no one has mentioned that the U.S. also got Metal Gear Solid 2 first.

Only crappy revisions the size of a wallet without cart slots. Oh, and they do cost an arm and a leg!

I'd say It's well worth an arm and a leg, you could just get robot ones.

I stand corrected! We just got Mega Man 9. It's like somebody's watching me....

I used to give private lessons to one of the Koshino girls. I had no idea who she was until she explained her family's business to me. Turned out I was wearing one of her belts. :shock:

I guess being faithful for 4 generations in a row payed off somehow.


No I understand why Japan would complain about Video games. It's easy to say that because they get all the JRPGs, and all the consoles first, they have it great, but you are forgeting that almost all western developed games, never make it to the country. It took like 1-2 years to get the ps2 gta games in japan I think.
