In the second half of this episode, I take the opposite approach and talk about the effects of too MUCH localization.
More wicked cool stories and video from around the web. Got tips for us? Tips@ScrewAttack.com
Hey everyone! Gaijin Goomba here. To sum up myself... I've been studying about Japanese language, history, culture, economics, everything for eight years now. Two and a half of those eight were actually in Japan. Japan is just my thing. I've also been an avid gamer since the age of 6. (I'm 27 now.) And I admit, I'm a bit of a Nintendo fanboy.
I am also the creator and host of the gaming webshow "Game Exchange" where I try and bring to light a little bit about international gaming culture and how it effects our own. It's my little way to bring my two great loves, gaming and Japan, together.

While I have yet to play the game, personally, I don't mind how they localized "Rhythm Heaven Fever". From what I've seen, most of it is what you'd normally see in, say, an English dub of an anime. (By a responsible company such as Funimation or Bandai, not 4kids or Nelvana.)

I can't help think of the Ouendan to Elite Beat Agents Thing

Whenever I think of over-localization, I think of the first season of the 4kids dub of Pokemon.
