I couldn't care less about it. If I can't get something from in my country, I'll just import it from another, simple as that. I don't mind paying a little bit extra if I really really want something.

might as well have made the "nope" option "DURHUR IMA WEEABOO"

because japan could kill their parents and they would still love it for some reason.

the solution? get off your ass, cough up some dough, and import like shit, thats what i did, and now i get to enjoy all the gamecube, ds, and wii goodies denied to me for living in the states.

Some American games stay in America. Plus they are censored much of the time if they do get sent to other markets.

I don't see any of those shows setting the world indoor speed record or racing across Japan to see whether a car can beat public transport, or racing across Bonneville Salt Flats in a variety of muscle cars, or being the first people to drive across the Makgadikgadi salt pan. And that's only some of the exploits of the Top Gear team. (Crossing the English Channel in a Nissan pick-up truck is one of my favourite audacious projects.) When Japanese shows do focus on cars, they focus on stupid drifting and so on. Let's just say that there's a reason why a Japanese manufacturer has only ever won the 24 Heures du Mans once, and has never won a championship at Formula One. They're just not ambitious enough.

And if we're going to bring films into it, I don't see any Japanese films where people risk their lives driving 240mph sports prototypes and actually competing in a gruelling 24 hour race in order to get proper footage. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Le_Mans_(film)] But that's beside the point.
I'm sure you think the whole "car" thing is very interesting... But I fail to see where the fun or interest lies... So... A resounding "...what?".

Then you should be able to recognize that "Giant robots" are in no way less believable or "realistic" than... Well... Anything in Doctor Who really. In fact they're MORE realistic, they're big robots. We have the robots, just gotta make'em bigger and better.

You forgot Avatar: The Last Airbender.
Honestly, from what I've seen... Not impressed... The artwork is pretty meh though... But then again I'm very picky in that department.
I think you are. I mean, I know things are always up to personal taste, but...I'm trying to figure out what you would consider good artwork in a western cartoon.

There is a distinct difference between forgot and purposely didn't include.
I suppose there is. However, since the comparison was Cowboy Bebop/Death Note/Akira/Evangelion and the Simpsons, I couldn't imagine why it would be purposefully excluded. I could see a comparison with, say, Crayon Shin-chan or Excel Saga, but the only similarity between those named anime and the Simpsons is that they're all cartoons.

Japan always gets games before the west and always has had games which haven't been released over here. That's just what happens. I don't resent them for it, I understand it takes a while to translate some games and to code it for the different regions and that some games aren't geared towards a western audience and so releasing them over here wouldn't be the best move financially for a Japanese company. You can understand their positions perfectly.

Yeah, let's go hate on them Japanese assholes for not bringing me my games! I can't live without them, and those sushi-eating bastards are making my life slightly more inconvenient!!

/mega-sarcasm

Humanity has certainly not learned that a whole nation is responsible for the actions of a few.

And I loved how Kukul pointed out a bunch of stuff then declared that he hated them because they were Japanese... then forgot the one hateable point of whaling? Cool, man. Nuke the Whales. They're too big for mah oceans anyway.

I resent the Japanese for other reasons (anime being my top reason), but in this case, no. I think they have every right to keep games in their country. If you're tired of western games and really want japanese games, then there is always the internet to keep you informed, and then after that, there is always ebay to sell you their games. If you're really bored with gaming, and are a rather new gamer, you could always buy a NES for $20. If I am correct, there were 200+ games on the NES, and you could waste some time playing them.

One it probably will take a bit of time for an American game company to find the game. 2) You have to think about all the work with the game to make it possible to be played in America, translations and making it compatibly. 3) America ruins a LOT of stuff that's imported. Really look at what they did to anime. A Japanese company doesn't have to import games to the USA. Also MGS was made in Japan, as well as Devils May Cry. Pokemon and other anime games, are based on Japanese cartoons. Some of the games you played by of been made in Japan, a game doesn't have to look like a imported game to been from Japan. One last thing, Mario was created my a Japanese story teller.

I don't like anime, mostly because it seems to be beyond them to make a action anime that does not have any robots or ninjas in them. Well there is Hellsing but that the only one i know about.
I can tell you're not really interested, but for the sake of my conscience...

Full Metal Alchemist, Cowboy Bebop, Bastard!!, Berserk, Chrono Crusade, Tenjou Tenge, Fist of the North Star, Gunsmith Casts, Initial D, Fate/Stay Night, Trigun, Trinity Blood, Peacemaker Kurogane (Samurai, not ninja, it counts), Shakugan no Shana, Sorcerer Hunters, Yugioh, and Slayers. Just as a sample.

No.

I am not sympathetic at all with your problem. Its not as if their being selfish, I mean come on, selfish? If its not profitable, then they're not going to do it.

Now that's out of the way, I believe its nice that they have their own culture of anime, manga, and all that other jazz. So Japanese are cool in my book.

So you're saying that we should hate sushi because it's fastfood? So what? Pizza is fast food, and I love it.
Don't you dare call Pizza fast food, maybe that bastardized version you eat in America is, but the real Italian Pizza is a thing of art and one of the healthiest foods around.
Pizza is not fast food, nor can it be fast food. it takes too long to prepare a pizza to cook, while you can buy buns, you cant buy quality pizza dough. the sauce normally is different from the kinds you can buy from a super market, while quality mozzarella has to be shredded.

i hate most everything that comes out of japan without the brand Sony on it because Sony makes the PS2+3, while most games that come out of japan are of terrible quality compared to western games (although i still have massive qualms about western, not in the least the nuber of shitty FPS games made since halo came out, which in itself didnt shine as a good game). they used to make good anime, but what is left of the good shows have long lost any quality.

The reason why these games are kept in their respected countries is because there is little to no market that would make it worthwhile. I'm sure it has been said so many times before.
(Fun Fact: Xbox 360 has only just recently hit one million sales in Japan, and it took 4 and a half years)

Japan gets many games first because they develop those games, and then they have to be translated and such to be even be sold over here.
Just because you and your cult of weeaboo friends (let's admit, most of the shit that doesn't get over here is because it's Japano-fucking-crazy) would buy them does not mean it'll make up for what they lose.

I don't care whether it's eastern or western. I'm simply stating that the western ones I've seen just don't seem to measure up, specially artwork wise.

What's my artwork standard? Something like this[/url or this [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BsWazWtSD64&feature=channel]... I'm aware those are eastern, but as I said, I don't care where they're from, I just stated that it seems only the eastern ones are capable of meeting my "standards".

Careful when you quote people, that's not my quote.

I compared overall quality. In sheer quality The Simpsons are easily the best animated thing in the western world, and the only ones capable of matching GOOD animes. For the record, Excel Saga can be immature but hilarious, shin-chan is utter crap.
