Why does Japan get all the good stuff?

Who else has noticed that Japan, and occasionally Europe, get all the good stuff? Video game art is one of these things. Look at any US Mega Man box art, it's horrible, but Japan has box art that actually looks like the Blue Bomber. There are some amazing games that never made it here also, like Waku Waku 7 (Saturn), Mother (Famicom), Mother 1 + 2 (GBA), Namco X Capcom (PS2), Sexy Parodius (Saturn, PS1), and Dragon Warrior V & VI (Super Famicom). Why the hate?

I knew that, but do they just not make it he because they think that there won't be a demand for them or is it a different reason?

Maybe, but I think its because they have different things... like nintendo of america, and nintendo of japan for example.

Just because you like them, doesn't mean everyone does.

Meh, weeaboo.

As said before, this stuff is produced in Japan, and isn't brought here because The Powers The Be probably don't think it would sell. As for boxart, I don't know, everyone has their individual tastes. I personally don't care about boxart, then again, I'm not the type of upstanding citizen that actually pays for video games.

If it really bothers you that much, chip whatever console you're using, and buy imports, they don't cost that much more than stateside games, and if they are <i>that good</i> then it's money well spent, no?

Oh, and if you're hopeful enough..start a petition..miracles to happen.

Just be happy you're not in Europe where localisation takes forever and the only thing good that's come out of it is a better Bangai-O. Lulz soundwave, I love it when /b/ overflows into other places.
