I would love to be able to select the Xbox One X version for my Smart Delivery compatible titles, being able to boot right off my USB HDD would be great.
Overwatch has also removed the Japanese language from the Xbox version only. As long as this problem continues, it will be difficult for Xbox to become popular in Japan.
His knowledge seems to stop in 2004. If we are talking about the Japanese gaming industry, we should know that some Western games such as Apex Legends and OverWatch are growing in popularity.
There is nothing wrong with making alterations from the original work. It is a new show. However, there are too many changes that make no sense and are not respectful.
All 343 Industries executives should be fired. They are not doing a decent job while being given the right to have one of the most famous games at their disposal.
There are some great parts of Halo now, but I have to wonder if this is the extent of it, given the huge budget given to them.
I'm glad to see the Xbox growing in Japan. At this rate, I'd like to see games like State of Decay 2 and Psychonauts translated into Japanese.
In Japan, there is a problem that for some reason Square Enix's Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts were not included in the Game Pass. (Interestingly, PS Now has them.)
I would like the option to disable smart delivery. It's a great feature, but I don't want to keep games on internal storage that I only play occasionally. I want to be able to run games on USB storage as well.
I want to turn off quick resume in games that have glitches. It would also be nice if there was an option to disable smart delivery. I want to put my games on USB storage.
@Banjo- Curiously, the Final Fantasy series, which has recently been removed from the Japanese Xbox Game Pass, is now available on PS Now. Why on earth is this, Square Enix?
I played the Switch version, but I couldn't play it properly because the C button has been replaced by the right stick. I am reminded of how well the port of the Xbox version was done.
This is quite an improvement over the dark days of the Xbox One, as Xbox Game Studios games are now translated with subtitles.
However, many games on Game Pass must also be available in English only. There are still some issues, such as Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts being excluded from Game Pass in Japan.
The Xbox One in Japan has been very bad. Most of the games were not translated and third party games were often not sold. (You can't even play iconic games from the previous generation like Monster Hunter World or Overwatch.)
With the Xbox Series X|S, things seem to have improved a lot. I hope they keep up the good work.

This game is only available in Japan on Nintendo Switch and PS4, with the Japanese language removed on Xbox and PC.

This is not "Everyone".
It is restricted to the Asian region, so Japanese players like me cannot play.

I would love to be able to select the Xbox One X version for my Smart Delivery compatible titles, being able to boot right off my USB HDD would be great.
Re: Microsoft Renews Trademarks For Rare IP Viva PiƱata & Blast Corps
Xbox clearly lacks these family games. They should release more Banjo, Pinata, Crash Bandicoot, etc.

Overwatch has also removed the Japanese language from the Xbox version only. As long as this problem continues, it will be difficult for Xbox to become popular in Japan.
Re: Free Play Days: Try These Xbox Games For Free (June 9-12)
I wish Diablo on Xbox and PC would support Japanese.

I would like you to start the service in Asia as well, even if it costs a little more for shipping.
Re: Talking Point: Which Is The Most Underrated Xbox Console To Date?
Really wanted to see a groundbreaking Xbox One Kinect game. They are clearly underrated.

Unless Bonnie Ross and Kiki Wolfkill are gone, Halo's current situation will not change.

Re: Even Halo's Co-Creator Isn't Sure Where The Show's 'Inspiration' Is Coming From...
There is nothing wrong with making alterations from the original work. It is a new show.

Re: Former Xbox Employee Joins Bungie As 'Project Lead' For Destiny 2 Expansions
Please someone save 343 Industries and Halo.
Re: It Seems 'Playable Elites' Won't Be Coming To Halo Infinite Anytime Soon
I think I should be able to choose a brute as well.
Re: Halo Infinite Players Share Their 'Disappointment' Over 2022 Roadmap
All 343 Industries executives should be fired. They are not doing a decent job while being given the right to have one of the most famous games at their disposal.
There are some great parts of Halo now, but I have to wonder if this is the extent of it, given the huge budget given to them.
Re: 343 Reportedly Prototyped Halo Infinite As 'PVP And PVE' Hero Shooter
I am interested in the Hero Shooter, even if it is an event.
I do not like the current Halo which is full of Spartans. I want to enjoy diverse aliens.

This game will not be released on Xbox in Japan.
Re: Xbox Game Studios Japan Is Working On A 'Truly Groundbreaking Product' For Xbox
I am so glad that Microsoft has turned its attention to Japan again.
The Xbox One was very miserable.
Re: Halo Infinite Dev Admits 'Difficult Situation' In Response To Fan Unrest
343 Industries does not appear to have good board members.
Re: 343 Industries Wasn't 'Proud Of' Halo Infinite Before Delay
Halo Infinite was a good game at launch. But this is a case of continuous updates.
They claim to be a live game, yet we are forced to play a game that has remained largely the same since launch.
Re: Ghostwire: Tokyo Studio Is Developing A 'Completely New Title' At Xbox
There are many things in this game that only the Japanese can understand. Therefore, a low metascore may not be a correct evaluation.
Re: 343's January Roadmap Update For Halo Infinite Also Misses February
I really enjoyed the first month.
343 Industries Thanks for your hard work. I can't wait for another company to take over.
Re: Xbox Wire Officially Launches In Japan

Re: Twitch Streaming Returns To The Xbox Guide In New Dashboard Update
I'd like to see more distribution sites support YouTube Live, NicoNico, mildom, Restream.io.
Re: Halo Live-Action Series Will Show Master Chief's Face
People who watch the TV show will think of the actor when they think of the face of Master Chief.
I think this is a very terrible decision.
Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Has Everyone Praising Xbox Smart Delivery Again
I would like the option to disable smart delivery. It's a great feature, but I don't want to keep games on internal storage that I only play occasionally. I want to be able to run games on USB storage as well.
Re: Xbox Exec Confirms More Quick Resume Upgrades Are In The Works
I want to turn off quick resume in games that have glitches.
It would also be nice if there was an option to disable smart delivery. I want to put my games on USB storage.
Re: Halo Infinite Fans Question Where The 'Live Service' Part Has Gone
343 Industries only cares about eSports players. As a result, the number of players is decreasing.
Re: Diablo 3 Is Finally Being 'Fixed' For Xbox Series X
For some reason, this game doesn't come in Japanese on PC and Xbox. Hopefully this will be fixed when it comes to Microsoft.
Re: Xbox Made Progress In Japan Last Year, Despite Being Heavily Outsold By PS5
@Banjo- Curiously, the Final Fantasy series, which has recently been removed from the Japanese Xbox Game Pass, is now available on PS Now. Why on earth is this, Square Enix?
Re: Banjo-Kazooie Fans Agree Xbox Version Is Still The Best Way To Play
I played the Switch version, but I couldn't play it properly because the C button has been replaced by the right stick.
I am reminded of how well the port of the Xbox version was done.

Re: Xbox Employee Recalls 'Sheer Hate & Vitriol' The Community Team Received In 2013
I didn't want them to abandon Kinect.
Re: Xbox Admits 'Big Missteps' With The Handling Of Lionhead Studios
The closure of Ensemble Studios was also a terrible choice. It's clear from the fact that they are now working on Age of Empires.
Re: Psychonauts 2 Didn't Win Anything At The Game Awards, And That's A Huge Shame
Maybe there's too little localization of the language and not enough people were able to vote.
Re: Xbox Dev Admits Memory Budget Places Restrictions On Dynamic Backgrounds
I'd rather have multitasking by snap back than this.
Re: Don't Worry, 343 Is Adding More Playlists To Halo Infinite Multiplayer
It is silly to repeat matchmaking over and over again for a challenge. Please don't make game mode specific challenges.
Re: Phil Spencer Says Psychonauts 2 Is Probably His Game Of The Year For 2021
No matter how great Psychonauts 2 is, there are still many countries where you can't play it because of the lack of language support.
Re: The Dreamcast's Legacy Lives On With Xbox, Says Former SEGA America President
Please make Sega's many Xbox exclusive titles compatible.
Re: Halo Fans Grumble About Infinite's Free-To-Play Model, 'Would Pay Full Price To Unlock All Content'
Considering that Halo Infinite is costing an extraordinary amount of money to develop, I think it's a huge loss even with the current business model.
Re: Halo Infinite's Battle Pass Progression Is Being Updated In Response To Player Feedback
The quick response is great, but it's a shame that so many complaints were raised in Insider and not fixed in the public beta!
Re: Forza Horizon 5 Players Are Finding The Game's Dialogue A Little Grating
There is no dubbing, so I can't read the subtitles while driving.
Re: Random: Smash Bros. Director Masahiro Sakurai Has 'Finally' Secured An Xbox Series X
He plays so many games: Steam, PS5, Xbox, and of course on Nintendo, where he also plays the Halo series.
You won't find a more studious developer than him.
Re: Xbox Series X|S Appears To Have Already Surpassed Xbox One's Lifetime Sales In Japan
The Xbox One in Japan has been very bad.
Most of the games were not translated and third party games were often not sold. (You can't even play iconic games from the previous generation like Monster Hunter World or Overwatch.)
With the Xbox Series X|S, things seem to have improved a lot. I hope they keep up the good work.
Re: Rare Teases Sea Of Thieves Season Four, Sets Sail Next Week
A Forgotten Adventure?
I mean, is it Project Dreams? Or is it kremlings Armada!?
Re: Halo's MCC Adds New 'Mythic' Armour Sets To Season 8, And Not Everyone Is Happy
I agree that with 343 Industries, Spartan has become more like Power Rangers. What is the reason they use so many different types of armor?
Re: Double Fine 'Doesn't Currently Have The Budget' To Add More Languages To Psychonauts 2
I want to play this game because it has a very good reputation. Both the previous and current titles have not been localized in Japan.
Re: Halo Infinite Won't Include Co-Op Or Forge At Launch This Fall
As with Halo 5, a delay in the Forge is a bad sign.
Re: Halo's Voice Actors Were Nearly Recast On Two Separate Occasions
In Japan, the voice actors have been changed at the request of 343 Industries.
The voice actors were changed to more famous ones, but unfortunately, the fans still want the old cast back.
The Halo community in Japan collapsed in the wake of this.
Re: Halo Infinite Campaign Files Have 'Unintentionally' Leaked
343 Industries has accomplished many failures, but somehow the people in charge never change. They are invincible.
Re: Football Manager Dev Investing 'Millions' To Add Women's Football
Why do you want to bring politics into the game?
Companies should provide users with what they want and earn revenue.
