Halo 3 Finally Dated For Japan

Microsoft Japan just rattled the rusty old Kotaku mailbox with news that Halo 3 has been dated for Japan. Previously, it was announced that the game will hit America on September 25th and Europe on September 26th, but nothing was slated for Japan.

Japan release date: 2007/09/27

Japanese people dont like Halo 3 and these kind of games ! they like more games about NINJA and true stories

DATE: 2007/09/27

Actually there are quite a few Japanese gamers that like FPSes, and Halo 3 was on the Famitsu most wanted list (though not remarkably high).

Now here's the real question.

Why the hell does this article, which is supposedly about the Japanese release date, not even give a release date?

Date: http://www.xbox.com/ja-JP/s...

Yeah this really doesn't matter because hardly anyone is going to buy it over there. Just leaves more for the US and Europe though.

Ok, but where's the date?

Edit:
Disagree? Where is the release date then? Show me.

@BitbyDeath

PS. I'm not the one that disagreed with you kingofps3

the release of Halo 3 will mark the biggest release ever in video game history. There are already more preorders for Halo 3 than the entire install base of PS3 worldwide.

Halo is a name people that don't play games know. Overall worldwide recognition of Halo 3 will be a phenomenon that no other video game release will be able to match, bar none.

Halo 3 may be the title to push the FPS genre onto the Japanese audience. Granted it's not too hot right now, but Halo 2 did alright over there, so I feel that this new title in the Halo series will help.

Seems that the Japanese audience appreciate great story-telling. :)

Halo where do you get that idiot sorry your comment is ridiculous.

[WANDA]

But that still makes me no expert.

I don't see halo doing super well just because it would make no sense to the japanese.
WAR GAMES AREN"T EVEN RELEVANT TO JAPANESE?!!!

tom clancy??? makes no sense

the country of japan isn't allowed to have a military (only defense force), and doesn't do much war since ww2. having big guns and big planes is not a priority (as i see it) compared to all the games about rescuing burning kittens and learning common sense.

different society different priorities.

[tomfoolery]

hell,if my country got it's ass whipped by a country that took
it's military away,then 60 odd years later tried to have a war game
released in my county from their country(Microsoft),sh1t.....
I'd feel the same way.Sucks to be you.

[WANDA]

Sucks to be me? I'm from LA! I just live here.
But thanks for the empathy.
:) HAHA

[tomfoolery]

EDIT:TOUGH NAME.....Who drew first blood who in Pearl harbor!

The whole atomic atrocity could have been avoided!
I'll get you started on this website if I want to tough guy.
You grow up joker.
As fanboys would say......pwned.

one more benefit of living in japan is the cultural divide. i've learned a lot
i can honestly say most japanese don't directly hate the united states for the actions in 1940s.
in fact, most japanese felt deeply ashamed that the war had come to that.
the emperor had promised the japanese that they were living gods.
and they were undefeatable.
similar to the strong nationalism in germany during the same time.
people felt lied to, and the country (with open arms (except for maybe okinawa)) let macarthur create a democratic constitution for the japanese.

yes, there are of course people who will not forgive the act of war (which was avoidable and warned about) that was hiroshima and nagasaki, but i've found a surprisingly large amount of people who feel it was merited.

and i've met a surprisingly larger amount that knows very little about the japanese aspect of ww2, as propaganda is hyper-commonplace in japan, taught in schhools and whatnot.

so when i said the japanese wouldn't be interested in war, it was due to relevancy not harbored hate for truman's boomsticks.

btw, let's talk about games :)

[toughNAME]

innocent soldiers?
a soldier's job is to protect their country through the killing of others
also..soldiers know theres a good chance of death
theres no such thing as an innocent soldier?

put your patriotism aside for one second..
lives of civilians ALWAYS > men trained to kill

your government (and the censor-full CNN) has corrupted your mind kid

[toughNAME]

alright its now done with...leave it alone...right..now
