there's one easy way to distinguish a Japanese game from a Western game—even when you aren't looking at it!

the best-selling video game is mispronounced too often! it's time to fix it and recall a dozen of classic titles with the same issue

like, repost and follow for more weekly overthinking of the latest and older video games!

The incredibly fun Japanese arcade game Armadillo Racing, made by Namco in 1997. It is fairly rare to see one in the United States today.

The game was made in 2-player cabinets, which can be linked for 4 players to play simultaneously.

Part 2 to our 8 Great JRPGs That Never Left Japan series dropped recently. The amount of quality games we missed back in the day is truly criminal, so many gems.
