Why do the Japanese go crazy over smart phones? I just picked up this bad boy and went to look for games...

Get some emulators and a bluetooth controller. Now you have a backlog for life.

He should, there's probably guides for it online if he needs it.

Portability and convenience.

So who plays Vidya in Nippon? Neets, Otaku and Degenerates?

How do international versions even work?

most japs are workaholic normalfags
they also worship microsoft and never upgrade any of their hardware. ironically they could switch to ganoo/linux overnight if they would just release their games for linux, they basically all run on potatoes or they're not on PC at all.

japs hate freedom

Nips don't play games on smartphones. They look at porn and shitpost on 2channel about how much they hate the filthy gaijin.

There's no room for consoles or PCs in Japan. As in, literally no room - they have a massive overcrowding problem. Since mobile phones and handhelds take up such little room they find more use there.
