Oh My Car!
Genki is always intrigued by the differences between Western and Eastern versions of the same game. The box art issue with gruff Conan types replacing sleekly stylised anime artwork is no longer such an issue thanks to the cross pollination of Akiba influence. Yet why Final Fight has fish net legged Roxy and Poison in Japan removed in the West? And are we too nervous for the full glory of Biohazard (yes in Genki's case...!) ? Those of sharp eye at the Rage Quitter site have also noticed a slight change in this expletive...
Though perhaps we can see the reason's for this name change and why eyeballs are more desirable here....
Keep them peeled!
