How come they get all the better versions?


Sigh. Apparently it's already a fact of life that when it comes to things like this, the Japanese will always have the better stuff.

In any case, it has just come to our attention that the PSP puzzle game Gunpey has just been released in Japan, and the main difference (other than the language, and the US$ 49.80 price tag, of course)? Check out the covers. According to Play-Asia, "One might argue that the Japanese version features a more appealing cover compared to the earlier released US version."

Yes, we might argue, and to be specific, the argument would most likely be along the lines of "Why do we get sparkly lines and they get a real girl?" But the difference should end there, right?

*Pout*

america would have deserved one aswell then.

anyway, I don't see how this is prove of the japanese hating the americans, if anything the americans dont want to have anything japanese on 'their' games

the americans designd that front for as far as i know, they wanted a redesign, not the japanese people

I'm half-Japanese, half-American. The Japanese do not hate America at all, in fact, they love America. They take in most things American from food, clothing, music, television shows, movies and more. There are some that still may feel bitter about the war, but they aren't out for your necks.

Just because the design team is different it doesn't mean there's passive hate flowing around.

The Japanese have already been brainwashed by america, they hardly remember the nukes when not looking in a history book.

They are your *****suckers, dont worry.

 » Good Lord, you people.

Please, please, please, PLEASE, just shut up about the whole "ZOMG JAPAN HATES US CAUSE WE NUKED THEM AND THEY'RE STILL MAD AT US LAWLZ" thing. I mean, seriously. Please. Stop being retards and do something better with your lives if you have nothing better to do than to be "cute" and post such drivel in here, but hey, this is a free country, and with that comes freedom of speech.

*Shrugs*

Regarding this whole issue, based on what I read in the article, nothing seems to have been changed about the gameplay itself,and there have not been any reports of any bonuses exclusive to the Japanese version either. As far as I'm concerned, it's pretty much the same game as with our version.

That being said, didn't we get the better end of the deal since our version was released prior to the Japanese version anyways?

 » Die Amis..

..sind meistens fett und wabbelig und haben daher meistens alle Titten, egal ob m/w daher tragen die Männer alle den altbekannten IT-Techniker Bart (eckiger Ring um das Maul) sonst könnte man sie von den fetten Ami-Kühen gar nicht mehr unterscheiden.

Eh? The cover is tacky looking for both regions. A girl holding a PSP of the game that they are selling, tacky.

NEIN! Shut up ze stoopid!

Japanese one looks HOT. Side-by-side I'd be more likely to pick it over the US version... the UK version is coming out soon, I really hope they will release it on a similar, hot hot cover. Yum.
