Looks like GTA3 is not going to be released in Japan any time soon.

I'm sure there are, even though it seems weird to think japanese gamers could consider american developed games "l33t" hardcore.

You know what? Damn it all to hell if I get laughed at, but what the hell is l33t mean? I see it all the time and for the life of me I can't figure it out. I probably won't be able to see the answer til tomorrow afternoon since I have to go to work at 5:30 am.

I bet if the game does get a release there it'll be a special edition filled with tons of extras that our version doesn't have...

I think you hate the Japanese game market more, because that homosexual Wrestling crap is all developed by Japanese developers, and wrestling games are just as big there as over here. Jackass.

Any Japanese gamer who likes western-style games obviously does/should play games on PC, and since GTA3 will be released on PC there, I don't see what the fuss is about. Thats why no one will publish it, because it would sell about 9 copies on PS2.

Now i'm no expert but ive looked at a few top selling games lists in my day and ive never seen wrestling games dominating the japanese best sellers list. while in old issues of OPM (psx demo disc mag) best sellers lists they where always dominating.

Heres the real question: What does "wOOT!" mean?
