Well, I thought it kinda silly to have separate EU and US games when they both have English as a language to play with.

 Then we could just stick with a US/EU mixed version and Asian versions.


Well, they localise the PAL version usually to languages which are spoken by approximately 250 million, about 50% of the EU population. Of course Europe and espicially the PAL region is more than just EU, but most PAL games are sold in the EU. With games localised to english for US release, they have localised games for over 300M ppl native language in EU, which is over 60% of EU population. I can't see any reason (besides PAL region) why Australia couldn't have the US releases.

Eikä Japanisti.

Nintendo games sell only on Nintendo system.
