America getting Chrono Trigger DS before Japan photo

It is time to revel in a most minuscule victory for American Chrono Trigger fans, as news arrives that The States will be getting Chrono Trigger DS a whole TWO DAYS before Japan! Never mind the fact that Japanese pre-orders also come with a two-track orchestral theme music disc ... TWO DAYS! America's release date is October 25 while Japan has to wait until October 27.

Just think, you could have leveled up over ten times before those Japanese gamers get their hands on the game. With a whole two days of lead time, you could become the CHRONO TRIGGER WORLD MASTER! Just thinkabout THAT while Japan is scrabbling for its worthless soundtrack CD which was supervised by game composer Yasunori Mitsuda. Utterly pathetic. 

In other news, the European release date for Chrono Trigger DS is still some time in 2009. So, France is the clear winner in this little contest!

"Just think, you could have leveled up over ten times before those Japanese gamers get their hands on the game."

Try beating the game 3 times over. Sorry fans, but you have to admit, the game's kinda short.

Isn't the U.S. 18 hours behind Japan? That would make the U.S. release 1.3 days ahead of Japan.

Also, <--- pedantic, much?

Maybe we should've let Hitler take over Europe. That way we'd only have to translate to one language...

Europe gets the shaft again. Typical.

Just like the other day when I went to the store to look for Tales of Vesperia. Only no,it's not there. It'll be out.. TBA. WTF!?

Oh right, someone needs special attention in the localisation process. Seriously. Fuck the French. Fuck the Germans. Fuck them in hell. How bloody hard is it to just play the goddamn game in english!

And how come Europe has the be considered one entity anyway? Thus making a whole freakin' continent wait forever because a couple of douchebag countries can't be bothered to deal with the english language.

Couldn't they just release an english version for Europe in a timely matter, and then release a shortbus version for France and Germany at a later date? That would make so much more sense.
