This was by far the funniest episode in weeks. I don't really mind them giving these games to western developers, especially since Castlevania has had it's share of buff, leather-clad protagonists in the old games and DMC was so heavily influenced by western culture to begin with (although, honestly, I only liked the first one) and it's not like they made Dante look like the dudes from GoW (either one). I think the worst example is probably Front Mission Evolved, but what wrecks that is really the writing, which was handled by the Japanese (Front Mission always had by far the best writing of any Square Enix series), and not the gameplay (which is mostly just "meh"). Honestly, we get enough bad games from both sides of the Pacific that I can't see this changing much. Besides which, most of Japan's [b/]good[/b] character designers don't even work in video games.
