People are calling this version nerfed.

Howso?

Lack of dual audio usually makes a version inferior to the other. At least, it would to me

It's funny because I can hardly watch a dubbed anime (except the Disney Miyasaki dubs, but those are stellar and I still prefer the Japanese) but I really want my games to be spoken in English for some reason.

Yeah but if that's all there is I wouldn't expected such a big stink. Gotta be more, right?

Not really. If I were a reviewer and there was a version which has dual audio and one which doesn't, I'd take a huge chunk of the score out on that one...JP voices are really important in a JRPG for me

So it is just the dual-language audio that's missing, then?

All right. I guess I'm lucky that that doesn't matter so much to me (I often hate Japanese voices too)



I don't really care,the game still look very uninteresting.



the wii version is cheaper...also

U know i playing Fragile , i stated with the jpn voice, i was scary to even hear the us voices , but in the end was not that bad ...



GO PATS! 2012 THE YEAR OF NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS'S 4TH SUPER BOWL!

I don't even know about the existence of such game....



Are they the same game outside of Dual Language options?

Both versions got a 9.0 which seems weird to me otherwise.



Pixel Art can be fun.

No, that's all we know of.  Then again the Wii port was handled by Idea Factory, and I don't trust them any farther than I can throw them.  I'm waiting to buy until we get more detailed reviews between versions.

But uh, seriously, Gemini Sunrise.  



I'm surprised that IGN gave the Wii and PS2 versions of the game the same score. Even without considering the dual audio and single audio difference I certainly don't think that Wii and PS2 games should be graded on the same scale graphically. And the Wii version is cheaper than the PS2 version which should also come into play.

I find it super sad that the stigma of Japanese audio to NA Dubbed still continues to this day. It's retarded. When I was watching Japanese anime, shows back when I was around 10ish(that's over 20 years ago) Japanese Anime american voices were the SHIT. Voice acting was not a serious value in translated works and the translation companies didn't have the money to get good voices. So often they weren't even good voice actors at all, but family and friends.

These days translation companies have the budget to get descent voices that sound similar to their Japanese counterparts. There are of course missing inflections or tones of whiny, cute, bravado... that don't always make it. Ichigo, Naruto, Goku do people with voices that sound like they can fit the character, but could you imagine Ichigo sounding like some bulky baratone voice with a brooklyn accent? no? could you imagine Goku or Naruto sound the same way? probably not, but 15 so years ago that's what you would be guaranteed to get with about 90% of your anime.

So it became popular to get Japanese audio with English subtitles. This became a selling point. Of course times change. These companies can now pay for proper voices rather than reusing there family or there own. Voices work and are effective with the English translations. Now the stigma of English voices are bad is a retarded Stigma that stays with the upstream crowd for the sake of it's elitism. It's retarded. So coming from someone who has watched anime since before most anime fans were around and in many cases born. Of course I have kids these days so I don't stay in the "in" crowd anymore unlike my teen days, but damnd we have come a long way.

The only thing that drives me nut's about American translations when they change the story around. Damnd it Zoicite a guy :P

anyways on topic. What the hell is Sakura Wars?



Squilliam: On Vgcharts its a commonly accepted practice to twist the bounds of plausibility in order to support your argument or agenda so I think its pretty cool that this gives me the precedent to say whatever I damn well please.
