Why not? Shephard's the man - and he's not released in Japan? Saw it on IGN. Why, MS ... why?

I thought they announced it at their special RPG session in Japan... maybe it is hard to translate all that dialogue, but you would have thought they would have been able to get it done

MS announced it for may in japan

They were already localized http://kotaku.com/gaming/lingo/mass-effect-bioshock-turning-japanese-267398.php

Not enough mechs, massive cartoon boobs and whiny voices, it'd never sell in Japan!
When is ME 2 coming out anyway and is there some kinda timed exclusive deal this around too?

According to Bioware, it's 360 first and then PC after. But that was some months ago. I'd expect EA to do a simultaneous release.

Okay, I think I have a problem though; I uninstalled ME and removed the savegames for space and now it turns out I'll need them for ME 2... I don't think I want to play through this game again just so I can play number 2...

Just do what I plan on doing, and replay it right before you play ME2.  That way everything will be fresh in your head, and the time density of awesome will be through the roof!

Well, that's kinda the problem, I didn't really find it that awesome, hoping for a better sequel! A very good RPG but there were too many things that annoyed me for full enjoyment. I might just hop through the main story (won't take long anyway) to get the saves I need though, levels and stuff probably don't matter.
