First off nearly any game can release in all regions simotaniously now adays.  The only reason they don't is if they are unsure of if they want to.  Muramasa and Little King's Story however were already being planned for international release before their main Japanese release.  Heck, Little King's Story released in Europe before Japan.  But then America and Japan had to wait 4 months for the game.  Why?  This is another reason why Japanese developers could speed up the process and have their games come out faster in other regions, because many times they already are planning to do it, yet it still takes 6-12 months for it to finally get to us.  And that leads to a loss of interest from the consumer, who will forget about that game and spend the money they were going to use on that game on something else over that 6-12 month period.

How many times have you heard of someone waiting for a perticular game to come out, only to buy something else instead because they're tired of waiting?  I don't know about you, but I heard about it all the time.  That happens more often to Japanese games because they have the long localization process to go through and Americans have the attention span of about 1-2 weeks.

Now they can't because different companies translate those small games in europe and USA ? Why would two completely who probably in opposition each other sync up to release the same game at the same time? Also no commercials for either games mean it was all internet hype and we all know that internet hype those not equal sales.

Uh...what?
