Okay? We at least got a us release and it isn't like the other half dozen titles we never got.

It's not that it was exclusive to a system I didn't own. It's the reason they didn't localize. Which was...

The port was released on September 17, 2009.[5] It was later re-released as part of Sony's budget series release on August 2, 2012.[40] Speaking in January 2010, Namco Bandai announced that they had no plans to release the port overseas.[41] Later that year, Yuri's English voice actor Troy Baker said that he had been recording new English dialogue for the PS3 port.[42] A report from a Namco Bandai employee sparked speculation that the reason behind the lack of a localization was due to a deal with Microsoft to keep the game as an Xbox 360 exclusive in western territories. Later, she retracted this statement, apologizing for creating false impressions.[43] Series producer Hideo Baba later said that the main factor in this decision was the strain put on the team with the simultaneous release of the original, meaning a Japan-exclusive release was chosen to lessen the burden. This also coincided with poor marketing feedback for the series in western territories

a part of the game wouldn't be voiced, or else it would have to release a little after the Japanese version.
