Well, we never get any tech stuff released in this country - ever.

Hope this makes you guys feel better.

Hey.....at least you guy's still get brad new Master System and Genesis/Mega Drive hardware and don't have to pay an arm and a leg for it.

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.

Yea I call BS on that. You get cheap NOS games while we get....an expensive shitty revision of a shitty handheld?

I'll trade ya

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.

People complain about Sony dropping the ball back home, but I feel like Japan isn't getting even a third of the cool PS3 stuff America's gotten. I mean, how could they not release Mega Man 9?

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

Yes, I am a brand whore. All my bags, wallets, luggage, etc is PORTER (Yoshida Kaban). For those who don't know, PORTER is Japan's snooty brand. All their products are made in Japan.

[/quote][/quote]You and my wife should get together sometime. She's into that kind of stuff. I couldn't give a sh!t.

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.

I think he means we got the Dreamcast version of Shenmue II with Japanese audio & English subtitles - the US certainly didn't get that one

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.
