Actually, I`m from Sweden, that is Located in Europe (If someone didn`t know) And i`ve imported different games from the US, and i can say that there isn`t any differenses from Pal and Ntsc, and if it would be any, i doubt it would be any large changes.
And about the Hm:Ss Releas date, it`s in November this year in Europe (You guys probably alredy knows that by now.)
They wouldnt make an australian version, but just think of the possibilities...
"Oi, Gotz, get over here and build me a dunny quick smart!"
Instead of an oven you have a barbie, and you catch shrimps insead of fish.
Instead of hurricanes you have draughts, and swarms of flies.
There is a boat race in a dry creek bed in the middle of summer, and it doesnt snow in the winter.
I get the Europian versions instead. Not much is changed, its exactly the same game and language so it doesn't matter which you get. I got an American version of a different (sadly non-farming game) and my mate got the english. We compared them and there was NO difference what - so - ever - not even the spelling of colour.
