Major League Eating Coming to Japan Next Week

Japan's number of titles going down isn't exactly a great sign for us either though.

I'd love for a shogi game to come out here. That and Go are two games I'd like to learn how to play.

Is the price drop going to happen for USA and Europe as well?

Consider the Platchen Twist N' Pain price drop never happened in Europe (and that was a massive 500 points difference due to the game coming out 3 days later) and nor did the Pop price drop (it is 500 points in Japan...but with EA publishing Nnooo are getting less money both ways).

It isn't all bad news. Commonly, in Japan the prices of RPGs and other "long games" is increased. For instance thier Ocarina of Time is 1200 points.

Still, despite not being interested in the game I'm upset it hasn't made it accross to Europe. That said, I can swear this Japanese release was meant to happen months ago as I remember screenshots showing the characters that got changed to be more Japanese.

In case it isn't obvious I'm taking the piss on Major League Eating; I sincerely hope that title never gets released here!

Thanks for the info Ratengo and the catch on my misreading of the katakana -- can someone in editor-land please change Daida to Daiba? It appears my new items have disappeared from the editable doc list...

I thought they already got MLE.

Those lucky Japanese

I sincerely hope that title never gets released here!
The thing is represents a bite of the bigger problem. There are too many games coming out in America and never making it to Europe. I want to play Lit and Groovin' Blocks but it just isn't going to happen since they won't come out in Europe...

Consider Major League Eating may well have sold better than those two (I remember it fareing far better in the charts) and even the almighty Pong Toss took about 6 months...

I thought Groovin Blocks was confirmed.

Yeah, Groovin' Blocks...that did look interesting, but it's so long ago I can barely remember what that game was about...
