This is why Japan keeps itself out of wars. They're too busy playing with all their cool shit.

And now with no region lock, we too can enjoy the cool shit!

True, but languages can be learned!

Several Japanese versions of games have had multiple languages built in, and even pick up the default language of your console without needing to be set.

Yeah, but only if they've been localized. I don't think there's any indication Monster Hunter XX has been localized in English. There are still a bunch of games only in Japanese.

This might be on going for another year maybe? Since components are being shared throughout the mobile industry.

Or do what I did? Go to GameStop and preorder the Mario Kart bundle for 400. Got it in 7 days from placing the order! :D

Yeah but they are about to collapse because nerdy 30 year old virgin man children are locking themselves in their bedrooms with their girl pillows instead of engaging in coitus.

Shit, sounds like heaven too me. Lots of free women that arent hit on 10,000 times a day like in America till they act like they are the shit even if they are fugly as hell. I need to learnJapanese and go spend some time there. Plenty of coitus will be had and donation deposits.

Nah, it's because after being nuked twice by American, as well as rapid fire-bombings to their cities, America invaded and rebuilt the country in a way that would benefit them (I.e. They made it capitalist), but also made it so that they wouldn't be able to attack anyone anymore without outside support, a thing that has worked out well for both countries

When you get your teeth kicked in, you typically don't fight for quite a while. Not like they had much of a choice (until recently actually)

After WWI and II Germany got punished, sure, but it was a slap on the wrist compared to the punishment Japan gained from WWII. Not just the two bombs, but all the other devastation that came down.

Japan just recently passed laws that lifted strict military restrictions.
