If the game is developed with localization in mind during production, there's no reason the localized version cant ship at almost the same date as the English. I've shipped ~20 games that have been localized and the EFIGS (English, French, Italian, German, Spanish) version has never been more than about 1 month after the English release.
Several hundred responses to an article and every one is on topic and helpful! Surely this is not the slashdot I've grown to dispise and hate? Where's the penis bird posts? where's the rants about microsoft taking over the world? where's the comments the US doing everything for oil? how can comments stay on topic soooo long? surely it's april fools day?!
Anyway to stay on topic:) I've tried contacts for a while, had the soft non-disposalble variety, and I hated em, dried out, sore eyes etc, so I went back to glasses, so much easier.
One thing not mentioned anywhere is that a free copy of "Brain Age" for DS was given to everyone attending the keynote. Brain age has been huge in japan selling a few million units already. For those not in the know...brain age is basically mind and math games like sudoku where you get a 'brain age' rating at the end so you can compare brain power with your friends. It's meant to help decrease your brain age, make you think faster etc.
No I don't work for Nintendo, I just like getting free stuff:)
The entire game was stolen not just the code. About 1.4gig (zipped) of assests and tools etc. I heard it ran reasonably well although not all levels where playable or complete. I'm sure the ruskies got their hands on this version and cleaned it up for sale.

That's one place viral advertising could lead to a nasty infection.
www.torusgames.com no sales figures, but I've work most of the titles we've shipped in the last 10 years. They're all console and hand held titles.

Your 'All-Time' must be a pretty short time. Around 6 years ago it was 20 cents lower than it is now.
Get serious, it's just plain racist and should be modded accordingly.

They've got "HitchHikers Gljdie to the"..... is it too hard to even spell check the titles?
