"Evil Japan"

They get almost everything before us. All the games, all the Nintendo merchandise. We are just getting to grips with Animal Crossing, Pikmin 2 ect. and they are looking forward to games like Animal Crossing 2!

Grrr. Makes you want to weep :(

Out of interest, were any holidays changed/added to the European PAL version that're different from the US one?

With Animal Crossing the USA edition it is just American English.

For the European market there is a tonne of languages and various different holidays.

Nintendo doubted the proft ability, decided to bring it to Europe. Found it hard so decided not to. Mass appeal so they decided too.

Thankfully Animal Crossing is performing very well over here which is wonderful.

Such a wait will not happen again.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't the same games that are released in the states released in Canada and Mexico simultaneously?

Baring in mind the Canadians speak French and the Mexicans Spanish.

Most games that you probably enjoy never get released in Japan, so what you shoud really be complaining about is the US.
Perfect Dark wasn't released in Japan for 6 months after the Uk, and loads of FPS and shooty-action games just never get released over there. games like TS2 and Rogue Squadron, even Metroid Prime get released in japan last if at all. It's just games from Konami, Nintendo and Capcom's japanese development teams that gets released in Asia first.

The US get EVRYTHING before we do, they get it cheaper and they get it with free stuff.

Rare were the real biatches.

They'd make beautiful games, less than 30-40 miles from where I lived, and then send them over the Atlantic months before they let us see them.

Yank-brown-nosing cretins!

Curse dem Frenchies.

Everyone should use English, and the dollar, and stuff.

Yeah, you 'erd.

European languages, Ash. :P

Even though it debuted in the US two months after Japan...

Hmmm, sorry, don't buy that.

Well the amount of translation that had to be done, would have taken ages anyway. But they were in two minds as to whether they should release it or not, so thats why we had the added delay...
