I'm linking to this article next time anyone from Europe posts about how they always get things late.

Doesn't change the fact that we're still waiting for EarthBound. We finally got Chrono Trigger after over a decade, so there may be hope.

I really want to learn Korean.
Can anyone point me to the best resources to start learning it?

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess!
But seriously, go check out Rosetta Stone.

I'm looking for a more classroom-style way of learning the language, though.
(and no, my school doesn't offer classes).

My name is Jun, and I'm korean.
I recommend Rosetta Stone as well.
There are not many colleges actually offer korean language classes.
and even those schools offer korean, they are for those who are thinking about majoring it.
further questions: junhotak@hotmail.com

FINALLY!!!
But the problem is... lack of popularity.
Because...
1. None of previous nintendo console was launched in South Korea
(except super famicom through Hyundai Electronics back in 94')
-> many Korean Nintendo-user's (mostly DS users) are not familiar with ZELDA.
2. Many of Korean (including myself) play MMORPG, FPS, still play starcraft.
3. OoT, Majora's mask NEVER released at all (except imports)
4. Nintendo of Korea is not there to make profits like NoA does.
-> they are simply "asked" by Korean government to promote console game market in Korea.
-> Smart "Nintendo" don't really need to sell any of their game in Korea
because 1. doesn't bring as much money as NoA
2. Piracy... (pretty much all of DS user own R4's, etc's)
3. Korean population is 48,379,392. vs. U.S 306,908,000
(shows the "limit" of potential gaming market growth of korea)
5. Many of them think that Wii is crap.
(however, most of them own ONLY PS2, play Winning 11 ONLY.)

I actually bought my Wii and Twilight Princess at launch and I still haven't completed that game yet.
So maybe some Koreans will finish it before I do.
