i am member of NightLAN(japanese lan party).
all japanese are not play WC3 in wii.
and not say pantu.
but all japanese are NINJA or GEISYA.
just play HARAKIRI in NightLAN. so fun.
I did not get what u wanted to tell us with this post. The quite bad degree of English amongst Japanese is such a huge barrier :( Hope KODE5 will bring coverage that includes good Japanese / English translators so things will be presented clearly.
