Haha oh wow, you just say that because you don't own a region-free PS2. Learn to import.

And I'll even say there are some games whose english voice is so good i wouldn't even consider playing them in japanese; like Baten Kaitos Origins, but… that's a minority.

Also… costing them more money? I'm sorry, but they should have seen it coming aeons before, after all even the original game had that option on PS2. And they certainly weren't printing it already. so it's just that… a delay to ensure that that feature makes it.

I also think you're blowing it out of proportion, QA testing? don't worry about that.

Point taken regarding piracy, this said… I don't believe those are the masses at play, and… Those 20 or so guys you know blow, I'm sorry to say. These companies need the money after all.

I'm completely broken regarding to finances, but I'm supporting these companies with every money I have on the platforms I have; even if I have my queries with their stubborness to treat the Wii properly.

If I have no money, then I won't play it, these games can last thousands of hours anyway, I'm getting my bang for the buck (well, not on the Wii from NISA and Atlus though, since they're too busy feeding it with ports and… ER-clone hospital games)

This is costing NISA more money that they could have been spending on other games. Phantom Brave Wii was, I believe, mostly finished and was almost ready to ship. The small budget NISA is on limits how they spend their profits. The profits used to delay and add voices to Phantom Brave Wii could have been used for QA testing for two or three of their other games in the future. I would rather have more games well tested than one game with Japanese voice overs.

I wasn't referring to this site when I mentioned pirating, I meant a wider “those who complain on the Internet.” I'm sure you know, but piracy IS a huge problem, especially with PSP and DS games. Even those who claim to be “fans” of a company smaller company like ATLUS or NISA will still pirate games. I know at least 20 people who love those companies but don't buy a penny worth of games from them. To me, this is very sad.

I actually think NISA's market is niche and thus they're bound to get less pirated in any platform than say… a metal gear, final fantasy and other high profile games. Plus, I've never seen piracy as widespread as PS2 (at least where I live) and yet game sales did fine… for the most part. So… if they indeed pirated them on PS2 already, what's different?

That said I disagree. For starters since we're a small group of users we understand the need to purchase the software (although I'll argue perhaps wii users won't fell compelled to buy a port of a 2003 game while NISA/GUST is developing and co-developing NEW games elsewhere)

That said, it shouldn't add that much of an extra cost, and all x360 games are dual layered, for example.

Thing is:

- Nintendo is very space-efective in the way they build their games, so they actually don't need the extra space most of the time, and won't. Twillight Princess didn't even fill a mini DVD with 1.4 GB after all, only developer working in a similar way is Team ico, with ico taking 600 MB and shadow of the colossus 1.5 or so.

- Third party's aren't even trying.

Next Level games actually said they ran out of space for punch-out wii, who uses a dvd5, and then they gone on record to say that they were the only guys having that problem.

If anything, they may have dual language in the Wii version only? Depends I guess.

On the Wii? New games by NIS? as in… new?

I'm not holding my breath, they seem to treat it as a “greatest hits 2000-2005 R.I.P.” console
