Today's most (un)shocking news: Japan wants Halo 3

You mean there's a mystical land out there where everybody isn't obsessed with Halo? Wow, sign me up!

Somebody better inform them that in order to play Halo 3, they will have to buy the dreaded American evil-box 360. Someone should also inform them that Japanese people aren't allowed to like FPS's, according to Joystiq commenters.

Too bad they would rather play Mario and Final Fantasy.

or a Wii and PS3 for that matter

About dam time they opened their eyes (no punn intended) to The Halo Crazy that grips America.....Oh and Mario is better then Halo........

They Shall be Assimilated......
Resistance is Futile...........

If they took off Master Chief's helmet and revealed him to be an effeminate elf mage with spikey hair you'd see Halo 3 jump to the #1 spot over night.

Whose up for a nonconfrontational, turn-based Slayer match?

I love that shirt! Uh, the grey (Read: gray) one of course. No, I am not secure.

Mister Cheif as an androgynous half-elfling? Well, as long as his skin is silky smooth and his suit doesn't have any anti-tenticle issues, that'd be a mega hit. Aw damn, I've sucken to stereotyping...

I thought Japanese people rolled over and threw up if they played FPS games?

That shirt Roxxors my Xboxxors. I don't get why Japan is so against the 360 and FPS games. I love crazy Japanese games AND FPS's. And I'm happy about it.

All your halo are belong to us...

I have heard somewhere that the Japanese gamers like to see the person they are controling not be the person. Possibly because it is frowned upon to "be an individual" and possibly bring shame to your family name... I can't remember where I heard that... It was probably Joystiq...

Forget BioShock, FFXIII, Mass Effect, and Assassin's Creed.

It's all about the Everybody's Golf.

Damnit where can I get one of those shirts?! XD

Must...Have....T-Shirt!!!

If you want that T-shirt (buying one for my girl)......it's on threadless

For all of you out there who want to shirt, I'm friends with the guy who designed it. I work with him, actually, and I just pointed out to him that his shirt is being shown here on Joystiq. Hopefully everyone can work something out with him to get it printed (Cafe Press claimed they couldn't print it because of copyrights). His name is Brad. He's the balls.

That's right... I'm the balls.

That's my shirt design! I can't wait to see how Master Chief sells out in the land of the rising sun, it's only a matter of time until theres a series of commercials where he's drinking some sort of bean-paste and sharksfin energy drink with 9 times the caffiene of a pot of coffee. Of course they want halo, it's one of the only American made games that isn't named " ____ and ____ " with gay looking characters and lame ass sidekicks, I'm sure the Koreans are nuts for it too now that they have halo wars, I wonder how many babies will get radiation poisoning from being pressed up against a computer monitor while they breast feed. But that's enough out of me, and thanks for liking my shirt design, even if noone will print it / let me sell it. If anyone out there wants to make me a proposition and/or would like to point me to a website that would SELL my shirts, please drop me an email at bradmrock(at)gmail.com, thanks again for the good response to my design and thanks to kevin-wiicafe for pointing it out to me. He's pretty much the whole taint.

Wow, I guess the Japanese people aren't living in the 80's anymore and they are finally recognizing games that are fun to play. I still don't believe it.

Haha, good one wackyban. There are 2 kinds of games: games from the 80s and games that are fun to play. No games were made in the 70s or 90s, no good games were made in the 80s, and no bad games are made anymore. These are all true! Also, opinions are no longer subjective. Here, let me try....

Americans like good games.
Japanese people like bad games.

Wow, that was fun! I'm stupid too now! Yay!

i want this shirt so bad!

Actually, it's interesting that the 360 has three games on that list.
