Sofie - Quebec was in a really tight spot a few years ago. The ruling Parti Quebecois (separatist party) accused certain game companies of violating the language laws because games weren't in French. Sega threatened to pull out of Quebec entirely as a result, but the compromise was that only the manuals had to be bilingual. Imagine if that applied to all games...  |

Sometimes the languages are blamed for the later releases in Europa.  But then, I do always choose English. Heck none of the console games I have is in Swedish. There are a few translated PC games thought...  Of course many manuals is in Swedish, but games usually includes an ingame tutorial. |

| JaCory: Everywhere got Pokemon Green. Japan got Pokemon Blue, which we didn't. I have to say that Europe does get the short end of the stick. That's too bad... Some great games are developed there (Worms...). |

| Actually, Pokemon Green = Pokemon Blue US, to clear that up. The original Pokemon Blue was never ported here. | |||

| But there are examples of games, never released in the US, there are few, but thei're not so bad. Doshin the Giant (GCN), never played it, don't have it. Kuru Kuru Kururin (GBA), cool game, I really like it, got it about 2 Weeks after my GBA (both Jap-Import), First I didn't know it didn't made it to the US. |

| And you get a FEW releases before us... Shining Soul II is one example I can think of. No idea why Doshin was a Euro-only release - it's translated and all so I can still see Nintendo bringing it state-side as a budget release. As for Kururin... we were supposed to get the sequel but I haven't seen THAT around. |

| It's beyond me why Doshin the giant isn't released over in US. Hadnt' played it, but it's an port of an 64DD game... Animal crossing is also an 64DD game but is not released in Europe.  |

Originally posted by Uncle Elmo Well I heard about an promotion they did in France about Animal crossing. And there is an pal version of Animal crossing, in Australia. They have blamed on translation issues. And that reason pretty much ignoring the english speaking countries in Europe + the ones who is pretty good at English, such as Sweden. Another issue was Cultural diffrences, we don't celebrate the same holidays in Europe, and the diffrent countries in Europe have diffrent holidays. (but most peopole probably dosen't mind celebrating them here ~_~) I hope it really happens this time, or I ask Bouche if he can buy and send the game to me... |

| Another Square game we were screwed on is Final Fantasy Tactics. At least, it's never been released here in Australia anyways. Eh, it gives me an excuse to emulate it then on my PC. I'd like to play the game, but there is no way I'm going to chip my PS2.... |

| Final Fantasy Tactics Advance was released in Europa. Aninaml Crossing and the e-reader are a issue on their own. But yeah, they sell the Australian PAL Version here. so, Kitten Yiffer, if you wan't one. contact me. But it's about 100 CHF. Kururin Paradise is a Japan Only, I imported it and just played it again today. It's much more fun than Kuru Kuru Kururin. With minigames and more and more challenging Levels. I think Alcom has it to budgeg-prices. Here the Links: Kuru Kuru Kururin (GBA/J) Kururin Paradise (GBA/J) Oh, I almost forgot, we Europeans got Shenmue 2 for Dreamcast!

| I know FFTA (and Sword of Mana) are out in Europe, but I'm still not 100% sure on FFT for the PSX. | |||

| We never got FFT, and I don't think there has ever been any plans to port it. Like we never got and never will get any of the Chrono games, unless they get ported to the GBA. | |||

Originally posted by Kitten Yiffer There are a few translated console games, but most are intended for kids. I know the Harry Potter games were translated into every language. And I believe some soccer games were as well. Originally posted by Kitten Yiffer AC wasn't a 64DD game. |
