Well, unless they produced the game locally with local price, i would say this would not get done. Piracy is a lucrative business. Heck, even some government officials are in cahoot with those pirates to get a cut from the profit.
MEOW! MEOW! MEEEEOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWW! i can imagine At least they didn't show those painful expression like all those Eastern pornos. Back to topic. I always think the SMB series is a disgrace to fighting game. Maybe I am thinking in a single player view since I play most games alone (that changed with the X360 though). I mean, how fun can it be if you bashing the AI only? I tried that with One Piece series on PS2 last time, and it was not that lasting.
