I lived in North East, and I saw iQue hardware like SP and DS, but, seriously, I can understand why the Japanese don’t bother to localise anything for the Chinese market. YOU CANNOT FIND NON-PIRATED GAMES! I lived in Shenyang, a very big city, now I made it a challenge to try and find one original PS2, GBA or DS (I couldn’t find PSP games at all) game and I couldn’t.

You spend millions to make a game for the Chinese market, 3 people buy it, the rest get a copy or download, people assume because China has a big population that the potential to make money there is great, it’s not, otherwise Nintendo and Sony would’ve made games in Chinese before, it’s only the second biggest, these companies aren’t stupid.

The only reason iQue even exists is because Nintendo is the only company that doesn’t sell their hardware at a loss, other companies have to sell software to make money, and Chinese people don’t believe in paying for software.

@Daniel Primed – Actually its the year of the boar, next year is the rat. I think the Dragon one has nothing to do with the zodiac, it just looks cool.

Covering the gaming scene in China? I’m interested about that because no one is talking about it. It should be very interesting and maybe something that should be on Siliconera!

It looks awesome. Is it actually the year of the dragon now? I thought that it was the year of the rat……

I’m hoping that when I’m living over in China near the end of Uni I’ll be able to focus on writing up blog articles about the gaming culture. As not alot of people seem to know much about gaming in China. Should definetly be interesting.
