Does anyone know the reason why Japan gets the releases first then the rest of us have to wait six months before we can play?
The games are made in Japan. They then have to be converted to Pal version systems (the british versions). Why it takes 6 months or sometimes longer, I don't know. Pokémon Stadium in the UK is called Pokémon Stadium 2 in Japan. They probably couldn't convert it into a UK version so started again. Gameboy games should come out here the same time as they do in USA as they are fully compatable with British Gameboys. ETC, ETC, ETC.
Because they make the games, notice how Sony Nintendo and Sega are all based in Japan, and now you ask a question like that?? figue it out. we should be happy we get stuff later, because our versions are always bug free and perfect compared to Japans version which has loads of faults which are really noticable.
