Harmonix localizes Rock Band for Japan

We know that many of you aren't happy with Harmonix lately, but the company is making an honest effort to appeal to gamers in Japan. In fact, for the Japanese version of Rock Band, Harmonix is teaming up with Q Entertainment, who's responsible for games like Lumines, Meteos, and Rez HD.

Hoping that Q Entertainment will add some eastern appeal to the game, Harmonix is aiming to completely localize it for Japanese audiences. Aside from the things that Q will bring to the table, this also means that the title will feature Japanese music and bands. Perhaps this will help Rock Band succeed in Japan where Guitar Hero couldn't.

Now, if only Harmonix showed the same dedication to English-speaking Wii owners, we might not have such an uprising on our hands.
