JPN or NA Brawl? For the PAL importer

[NESSBOUNDER]

It's probably a little early to ask this, but...

I live in Australia and own a PAL Wii and I'm planning on ordering a Wii Freeloader and Brawl. However, I don't know which is better to get: Japanese or NA Brawl?

Japan Brawl is probably cheaper, and IMO has superior voices. I don't mind the text or anything like that. It'll probably be easier to get hold of too, since the NA one could be sold out for a while.

However I hear rumors that the NA Brawl will have certain character adjustments such as Marth's Fair being slightly nerfed in terms of ground lag, and then there's always the added bonus of being able to read trophies and whatnot, which is always nice.

So any ideas?

in the end its really how much voices and text matter. there might be other slight diffrences but i dont think they will affect ur gaming massively

Y thank you, I made it myself.

And yeah, for me, the little gameplay changes matter the most out of anything else, so I guess I'll have to be patient and wait to see how many changes have been made.

Well...the JP version was confirmed by Codejunkies to work with the Freeloader. So that's something.

However, the NA version...well, if the game's text is important to you - especially trophy descriptions - then of course you should get that. Plus the voice stuff. But we're not sure if it works at the moment...personally, I'm going to wait a little once I've got the game and the Freeloader and see if it works for everyone else. If not, I'm getting mah refunds.

edit: Oh, and the rumors about Marth's Fair being nerf was from dmbrandon claiming his copy of the NA game was patched. Which was not true, I think (how the hell would it be patched, anyways?). I think you can expect all versions to be the same, what with online requiring everyone to have the same game - balancing from here on out will only be through them printing new versions of the game, like the 1.0, 1.1 and 1.2 versions of Melee.

 

[NESSBOUNDER]

Well the text is not important, but gameplay balance is. And so far rumors are saying that the NA version has been tweaked somewhat.

It's like how Europeans get games much later alot of the bugs are fixed by then. So it's really possible. Although even though the voices will bug me, I do enjoy reading trophies descriptions and easy menu surfing. It's just what you'd prefer more.

If i can't wait til like July for my copy then i'll probably get Freeloader and the NA one, because I'll be hopeless with the JPN one. So the Freeloader for UK works in Australia as well right?

I can't believe people are still complimenting me for Dendyn Dynasties, even though it's really not all that good.

Two Heroes will kick DD's butt when it's finished.

I'm an anthro artist. I try to express that the genre can be enjoyed by everyone, not just the disreputable furry crowd.

I saw that it was cheaper to import the US version than the JP version on play-asia. But like someone else already said, it comes down to the voices and text in the end.

 

[DeltaWolf]

Omg that is so cool. I would never be able to make something like that xD haha. Good work!

Okay good night people, got crummy school tomorrow and we're doing the "Cross Country"...

The NA version doesn't have some of the JP version's songs. I don't know if it has extra songs to make up for it. Also, there's no Snakedashing and Pit Arrow Looping, and I can't Koopa Hop, but I don't know if it's just me or if it was removed.
