That's a pretty big understatement. Even now, with more games being released than ever, many of the huge games in Japan are either too complicated to translate (See: Mojib Ribbon) or the developers don't think that American audiences will like the game.

The Japaense are warming up to games coming from the West, so why aren't we working to bring more games from the East?
