etc.?

the European versions of most (if not all) games have spanish, french, german and english... and such.... however where i came from (venezuela) games didn't have this feature, most games were in english, others in japanese and very very few (like sonic games) actually had spanish translation. Sometimes someone would create a dub/sub version of certain games to release in the latin american market (examples are dino crisis series and the resident evil series) however most of these hacks had poor quality translation (the dino crisis one had a camera and sound problem).

in summary... most of the time we Latin Americans had to either learn english or just guess how to play the game... this obviously changes the market in the country, games are more popular over there for their graphics and simplistic or easy to understand gameplay, Story does not matter that much over there unless the game is in Spanish, and if the game is too complicated to understand some just drop it, I however didn't do this and decided to learn the language so i could play games like final fantasy and legend of dragoon, and i am darn happy that i did that. (though the odd thing is that legend of dragoon was very popular over there, same for FFVIII because it had a spanish hack for the PC version and ps1 version.... however the ps1 version had a major game breaking glitch at the end of the game T_T)

I was thinking the same thing.

I was going to suggest rephrasing the subject line as: What About The Other Countries That Have Gamers? :lol

Of course I'm from Canada, and so is Kaz, and we both know that games in Canada contain both English and French. So I'm kind of surprised you asked Kaz, living in a bilingual country and all.

I understand what you're saying Stealth.I guess I just felt that it wouldn't seem fair for other countries besides the larger ones to enjoy the same games we do because of their given language,that's all.For sake of argument,It would kind of suck for Russians to not be able to experience the games such as the upcoming "FF XIII" because of their language.Maybe I'm typing out of my ass,I don't know.
 
Kaz if I were take a guess I would say N. Korea is one place that might have few games from other countries translated for it this would be due to the governments very restrictive policies on all forms of media not the cost or anything like that of translating games.
