"It's not fare how we are the last ones to get the games"

I believe that it is not right that we have to wait down right ages for games that come out in Japan ages earlier (PS2 anyone?) and also there is a fact that there are more features added in some Japanese games. For example Marvel vs capcom 2 has an online function which is amazing but we don't. A great example of this has to be Super smash brothers on the N64 which took 1 and a half years after it's release in America to come here. The only reason was because people wrote tones of letters to Nintendo complaining. I have noticed this alot and I find it unfair. Even though DC seems to like releasing them about the same time. I am supporting sonic team because they believe sonic adventure 2 should be released at the same time around the globe and no one is unfairly treated
I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR EVERYONES VIEWS ON THIS ESPECIALLY SPECIAL RESERVE!!!

Smash Brothers was worth the wait. Anyway...
PC games generally don't have that big differences in release dates, possibly because a lot of developers are European... And those that aren't are mostly American and don't really have to change much for the UK version at least. This is nice, although not always true (Ultima Online... Ultima9... I blame EA then) but at least it's better than console games which are all foreign and require a lot of messing with to make them compatible with different systems (which are also messed with to be used in Europe and so forth). Of course the thing with the PC is that their all pretty much compatible. They all use the same Operating System after all (Windows, oh and not all of them... There are those that use Linux and things, but they aren't as compatible you see) so it makes it easier to make games Universal (Those guys in Quagaaz 7 really love a game of Quake3).

What's this then, people complaining about spelling mistakes? Wel ai jussst fink thatz e wast uf tiim. Peepul alwus mak mistakes wit there spilling wen tipin.
Not that i don't complain about spelling... Just not on forums, it's more fun to complain about spelling in real-time chat things.

Umm, £1.15 to the town thanks... Sorry

Yes!

What do yu think about smash brothers though. This was one that really annoyed me

As was the original Driver released over in the UK first, US second.

whats annoying though is when a game is out in japan for 6 month then its released in the US 3 months later, then we have to wait another 3 month again... In this scenario we are just being left behind like the launch of the PS2 why wasnt it released in the US and Europe simultaneously??? Do they care about our feelings!

Not really true Rhiono, i happens both ways. I.E...

Golden Eye was improved

Teken Tag Tournament had an extra 1 on 1 option and was anti-alaised

Varios games had been improved, the reason we get games late is because whatever country the games were made, Is "NORMALLY" where there released first, which happen to be Japan or the US of A. Alien Trilogy for the PSX was released here first as it was an English company who made it.

We get a rough deal because we get the games at the same time as the rest of Europe. Which means that they might wish to add options to have the text in English, French, German, or Spanish.

Adding stuff takes time, but sometimes it means we get a better version of the game. Apparently the framerate for Banjo Tooie will be greatly improved upon it's European release.
