"Transformers: Tatakai" Not To Be Released Outside Japan
From http://www.tformers.com
Contrary to the recent article in Play Station magazine this month, We have been informed by an official at Takara that the Transformers G1 "Tatakai" game being developed by Winkysoft will NOT be released in the USA. According to Takara " We have decided that G1 would not publish in the US, it will be available only in Japan." Bad news for G1 Fans in the USA. Ah well, guess we'll have to wait for the Armada game by Atari next year. We will post more updates as we get them.
I think I speak for all of us when I say...

I think they aren't too sure of their product, to such an extent that they aren't willing to release it here in the U.S. If they are THAT unsure about their product that they'll actually say "We Won't release it in the U.S." instead of "we aren't sure if we will yet" then they can have the game. It probably won't be worth much anyway except to the fundamentalist. (We've seen the graphics, who knows how the game play is...)
Still, if this holds true, it could really spark U.S. company interests to build a G1-based TF game here. Something even better.
I dunno, but something tells me we might get a better deal here in the long run...

Being somewhat technologically ignorant I'm gonna ask what is probably a stupid question. If I somehow got ahold of the Japanese version of the game would it be playable on an American console? Also is purchasing the game and having it sent overseas a very difficult task?

Yes, it is possible to play a Japanesse game on a US console
but I wouldn't highy recommend it becuse if you get your PS2 modified but this means some work with you having
to use a smoldering iron to put in a mod chip to bypass the region lock and if you do mod your PS2 it will invaild any warenty with Sony if you screw up the system.
But remember that but mod chips are borderline legally meaning you can get into trouble if you buy them from the wrong place.
It shouldn't be that difficult to fine an online store that sells imported Japanesse games just go to google.com and type in
Japanesse imported games stores or something like that and see
what you fine.

I doubt it but it might be worse checking out.
