Import Games – A “Why Not?”

August 15th, 2007 Leave a comment Go to comments

Cybrpunk has a really good rundown on why all those awesome Japanese games and devices don’t always make it to the States – and why it’s so hard to get those imports.  It’s actually an uncommon approach coming from a gamer since he mentions that it usually isn’t worth the effort.  He also goes over the logistics of it from a manufacturer’s point of view as well.  Give it a look if you’ve ever wondered about it.

My brother could probably provide some interesting commentary on it as well since he has been studying Japanese pop culture recently (including gaming).

I’m going for the sibling reference trifecta today!  Stay tuned!
