Resolution didn't stop Nintendo or Sega, etc. from releasing any of it's hardware in Japan.
Resolution didn't stop game developers from creating RPGS and other game types in Japanese using a combination of Hiragana, Katakana and Kanji.
Its easier to forget that not to long ago some of the most successful hardware and software wasn't in HDTV, but in very low television resolutions.
Lastly, many of the millions in China that Shanda is perhaps trying to go after haven't even been exposed to the higher-end technology that other countries may be used to and might be amazed at a 'simple' low resolution product like The Legend of Zelda.
