A question for non-Americans

[parkmania]

I know there are a lot of games that are only out in Japan and several that are only out in America, but are there game that are only out in, say, Europe. Much like NCAA Football games are here, I could see where there might be a market for, just as an example, Cricket games in countries that actually play the game, or possibly more varieties of football (soccer) than just the FIFA and Wiining Eleven series.

So - are there?

[Xero]

Yes.

Ah, good ol' Denki.

A local games company here that makes random games.

It's funny though that Denki makes random games that, to be honest, really aren't that commercially successful, yet it's still kicking. Whereas other games companies here in Dundee that were making big name games, like Realtime Worlds and Cohort Studios are now dead.

the Yanks do get this, was called Worldwide Soccer Manager or some schtick over there until a year or two ago. Probably sells about 8 copies a year

[Mike the Metal Ed]

No, they get "Worldwide Soccer Manager".

Love this series. Always get into between the Giro and Tour de France. Gonna have to pass on this years tho, computer could barely run last years.

I think the better question is if there's any non sports/novelty candy related games exclusive to Europe.
