Amber recently mentioned, Jak's personality changed between Jak & Daxter and Jak II. This wasn't an, "Oh look, he's got a new hat!" sort of change either. Jak went from being an unassuming, Pixar-styled young-and-plucky hero to a gun-toting, tortured prisoner of war in the span of two credits sequences. But Naughty Dog's decision to frame the sequel around a loss of innocence isn't what's adventurous about Jak II. In Jak & Daxter, Jak is mute, but following his fall from grace at the beg
Another Week in Japan: Hardware and software numbers 4/28-5/4
Filed under: Another Week in ...We realized today that we don't know Japan as well as we thought we did. With our reasoning, a new Gundam game + the popularity of the DS = cha-ching.

NES version February, 1991 (USA) April 26, 1991 (Japan) July 22, 1992 (Europe) Game Boy version (Adventure Island) February, 1992 (USA) March 6, 1992 (Japan) April 23, 1992 (Europe)
The Game Boy version is simply titled Adventure Island in its western release, since the first game was never released for the Game Boy. This affected the numbering of the third NES game (Adventure Island III) when it was released for the Game Boy, becoming the system's version of Adventure Island II. The Japanese versions of both Game Boy games retain their original numberings.
