Mass Effect released in the Very-Near West in 2007 and -- believe it or not -- actually has a sequel in the works. Oh, and in case you're wondering, Sloan to Michael: Nazo No Monogatari was in the number one spot with 44,000 units.

So Mass Effect 'just' launched in Japan?
Wow...and I thought Japanese -> English games had a long turnaround time.

In it's defense, the game had a -lot- of English to translate.

@Duke
And you know they should have made a mini-game out of the elevator load sequences. It'd chart at #1 then.

I guess now they know how it feels. Which as a European who normaly has to wait even longer for JRPGs to come here, is somewhat satisfying.

I could only hope so. Maybe it would force the japanese to actually adapt to current times instead of making jrpgs the same way they were made 15 years ago.

I think it would be so cool if the West could create a franchise that the East loved as much as [some of us] love Final Fantasy.

You think? That's disappointing. I mean, I play it sometimes. But it kind of sucks. I wish there was a better MMO out there but I've yet to find one. :p

well they certainly seem to love it. So much so that they have to make camps to get people to stop playing it right?

But that's not Japan. Japan is different from the rest of East Asia.

it does, all the stuff they used for promotional images, box art, and most of the earliest trailers and demos for it used a different premade face. I'll try and find a video for you

My Commander Shephard was a girl with red hair and a small scar above her eye, and she had sex with a blue alien...

Mr.Esc, thats seriously like starting the lord of the rings series with The Two Towers.
You have no idea what you're missing out on. You're like my friend sam, who insists that "mass effect looks like a good game, but I have no interest in playing it."
Not to mention its probably like $20 used now. FFS pick up a copy.

Actually it's $20 for the platinum hits version new, and it comes with the DLC.
