Japanese Gamers vs. American Gamers
Japanese games.
I find a majority of Japanese games released here in America to be very entertaining, works of creative genius.We all know about Mario, Zelda, Final Fantasy; famous characters like Samus and Kirby, even Sora from the new Kingdom Hearts. (there are many more)
However as time goes by i'm made acutely aware of the fewer original and refreshing games I see released. I'm certain that the amount of new games hasn't slowed, however with recent developements like GTA, SSX and most other sports titles, i'm hearing less and less of the games I really want to get to know. (don't get me wrong I love GTA)
I find that less and less does the media cover the newer platformer/rpg/strategy (etc) titles that I really would love to learn more about. Not to mention there is an abundance of video and arcade games in Japan that I couldn't even dream of picking up here in America.
Of course i'd like to get my hands on some of these games; but baby steps.
In short I simply desire a way to experience the world of gaming outside of America. (primarily in Japan)
