It takes a lot of time for rom hackers to do translating. It goes a lot faster when you've got access to the complete script and full source code.

Plus there's the fact that the most popular games have already been translated by rom hackers, which means the official translators would only have to polish off the rough edges and remove all the hackers' stupid in-jokes (DE-JAP!).

Add to this the fact that the Wii alone will be around for about 4-5 more years and the fact that as long as it remains profitable Nintendo will probably keep the same VC setup in their next system, and translation time pretty much becomes a non-issue.

As opposed to something that would actually be technical and complicated, like adding region-specific coding to convert games into a video format that noone outside Europe gives a damn about (PAL WHINERS!).

Not that I'm calling anyone here a PAL whiner. But they're out there, constantly boo-hooing about how noone will give them special attention because their continent is too stupid to convert to NTSC like the rest of the world.

Excuse me? Pal is superior when it comes to colour saturation. plus most of our tvs can show 60Hz now, Ninty just won't give us a chance
