Welcome to Gaia! ::

I perfer games that are in my own language but I love Japanese-origin video games.

Well, a lot of us (myself included) can read both, at least to some degree. sweatdrop

I would REALLY like if games were translated, but had an option to put on a Japanese voice track, I realize that this takes up disc space, but I think its possible once companies decide to market the technology.

The only reason I dont buy the original Japanese titles is because I dont have a mod chip in my console yet. Yet.

I play some Jap. Video US imported games... i kinda like them edited not a whole lot... being able to read things in English would be great...

Could you please clarify? sweatdrop If you just mean a US version of a Japanese game, that's not an import, it's a localized version.

By edits, I didn't mean just translation-I was mostly referring to other things that were changed on purpose, be it in the storyline or other features. I guess some people might like those, though. sweatdrop (Forgive me if I misinterpreted your comments, I put this in because of the part about them being in English sweatdrop ) I wasn't trying to imply that a US company would bring a game over with no English text either, just that it wouldn't be that difficult with current DVD technology to have the original text included as an option-it would give less incentive for the US (or other foreign) consumers to purchase the Japanese version, because they wouldn't be missing out on anything, including subtleties in translation.


Elric> From what I understand of the PAL gaming scene, there are even fewer releases over there. I hope this topic doesn't seem rude in any way-I would like translated games to improve in both quality and quantity for all regions, not just the US/Canada. Heck, Japan could probably even stand to have improvements on US/Canada/PAL translated games. xd

I'd like the game in english so I could read it. I have a couple of old DBZ games in Japanese, for the most part it's linear to what to do in them so I can play them without problems, but I still can't read it.

well i have an action replay for my gamecube so when i buy japanese games my action replay automatically translates it biggrin

..as i said before....i dislike anything that america alterz.....
