Questions - WE9:UE for PSP. Language?

[KoNGo]

Hello,

This is my first post~!

Being an American, I can only get the Winning Eleven International versions when they release here in the States. There's not a better game for the PS2, and I would buy the PS2 JUST FOR the WE series.

I have WE6, WE7, and WE8.

It sucks that the US is always WAY late in getting the new releases.

Anyways, onto my questions.

I recently purchased a PSP (I love it!). I know WE9: Ubiquitous Version is releasing this week for the PSP in Asia, and I was wondering about the language settings. I can buy it on the net and have it shipped to the states, but I had a few questions first.

There seems to be an ASIA version and a JAPANESE version releasing.

1. Are these the same versions, or are there differences?
2. If I get the ASIA version, will it have an English menu? I was thinking that if it's for ASIA (and not just Japan), it might have to have a more universal language, like English, for the non-Japanese PSP owners.
3. Do any of these two versions have an option to change the menu to English? The PS2 version of WE8 has an option to change from English to Spanish.....

Thanks! I hope there is English available! I don't want to wait until Spring 2006!!!

David.

1)think there are the same but might depend on where the game version is going
2)no i think that all the version will be in japanse or a asian languge
3)they might just wait until u get it then there might (which i doubt) a patch to translate it but as it's on psp i don't think there will be a patch

2) that's the question i had. if it's an asian language, which asian language are they gonna use? japanese menus for korean psp owners? korean menus for chinese psp owners? couldn't they just use ENGLISH???? ARGHH!

3. yeah, i figured that. since you need DVD burner, etc. there would be no way to mod the actual UMD disk. However, I could see someone making a software ROM loader version to stick onto a memory stick to play off the memory stick. of course, the problem is that at the PSP's 333MHz processor speed, it just wouldn't be fast enough to handle the action without being ridiculously slow.

it would be only option file patches which are already available for PSP games already.
Should be easy as you can swap option files between the PSP and PS2.

option files only change the players names, not the menus per se.

Yup... that's why it doesn't help.

Does anyone else have some insight on this issue? There have been a lot of views....
