Why would the Japanese localization impact the European localization in any way? Can't it just be that the European version takes longer due to scheduling issues with Nintendo or the European partners?

Or are you saying they should hold back the finished localizations in favor of a simultaneous release?

They should make a Japanese version and English version and release it. Probably with subs of blah languages instead of dubbing every language in the EU.

That's racist!

Not my fault they still use their native language instead of getting rid of it in favor of the only true language of the world :P

I've been advocating for Europe changing its official language to Japanese for years now. Don't blame me for this regression.

Is BotW confirmed Voice acting? I only heard like 3 words been spoken, that's almost as many as in OoT

Do you mean Mandarin or Spanish ?

Yup IIRC Aonuma stated that the most important characters will have VA while the regular NPCs only text...

"Most" does not always mean "true". For example "most" people voted for Hillary Clinton. Yet Donald Trump is the "true" President.

Waiting even more for Zelda? Oh, hell no!

I got a better . OK so Nintendo got sick of all the rumors and sent different ones through different sources just to confuse the offenders and and then they can do what they always wanted and people will still be surprised and excited



Just a guy who doesn't want to be bored. Also

Meh I doubt that. Zelda isn't a great seller in Japan compared to NA/EU so putting priority on the Japanese version isn't a good move. While I could understand pushing the switch in Japan more cause of its portability, Zelda is not the game to do it imo and I think they should know this by now.

I think it is just the typical sitution of people being wrong which that chick has been before. I think she will also get at least one more wrong but we will see. So far, its best to only trust Eurogamer/DF with leaks and the rest should be taken with giant grains of salt. (If you are gonna trust rumors/leaks to begin with that is)

What they should do is release the english version first then the waste of time editions when they are ready



I highly doubt they are going to VA a whole bunch of languages, plus I doubt there will be much VA to begin with.
