Why are there so many games getting announced for asian releases in english lately?
>>
Asia market is more profitable than the American market
>>
To make sure people know they're in English so Play-Asia can pull another DOAX and sell them.

>I don't think SJWs are angry about gundams
But I identify as a Gundam-kin, and this is just exploiting my people for their own personal gain.

As a robot trapped inside a human's fleshy body, I deserve at least 60% of those profits to ease my suffering. Also why are there no female robots? Can only MALE robots save the world now? You're so fucking sexist, Japan!

See? Easy.

Games have to have an English option to be sold in Singapore and Hong Kong I believe.

The other reason could be licensing issues preventing a western release, but publishers make an English Asian version ripe for westerners to import to make extra money.

Because their murrican branch won't localize em due to being afraid of sjw bullshit. Meanwhile their asia branch realized that there is a market for it in the US and Europe, so they were smart enough to capitalize on it since shit is regional free.

It's cheaper than localizing it and they obviously make some money from it.

I wish the sequel translation would hurry the fuck up
>>
>>332030218
They can half ass the translation like they always do for asian releases and suddenly sell a lot more copies knowing that people will import.

I dont think so for HK since at many times its just the manual in eng.

Because Sony is exploiting the Asia market unlike some toddler said
>>
Japan/Asia's market for handheld video games is dying so publishers are branching out and giving the west games to stay afloat, games they would have never considered giving us under normal circumstances.

Don't be disillusioned, Bandai is giving us cames out of necessity not because they give a fuck and want to. Gunadam, God eater, Digimon would have never seen the light of day in the west if Asia's handheld market was booming like it once was.
