so the other day I mqde a japanese psn account,and tried out all of them,and since I obviously don't know japanese I struggled,but I really like all of those games now my question,why haven't  we gotten any of those games? is there no demand for them?

If you mean games like Picotto Knights and PSO2, the former is coming. Or at least, should be seeing as how Gungho registered a domain for it in the West. As for PSO2, it's unknown if it'll see a localization or not~.

Most Japanese games will not see US releases. This is in part due to the cost of localization, even if it is only adding English subtitles. The other aspect is that most Japanese made games are extremely niche and won't sell well in the US. Usually only the most popular games will be brought to the US. Games like FInal Fantasy, Dragon Quest, Tales of, Shin Megami Tensei will usually come here. But there's never any guarentee because Final Fantasy Type Zero has yet to be brought over.

It applies to those as well. Even free to play games will cost money to localize.

Asian culture is much different than Western culture.

All these redundant statements aside, some decent free games could REALLY help the Vita, especially since we're not getting much else anyway.

Anything would be better than Frobisher Says, no matter how niche it is.

I would abandon my gaming PC when vita gets PSO2. I played it on jp OBT but I hate that I can't read Japanese lol.
