Game Localization is necessary for launching a video or computer game in a foreign market. Graphics, storylines, and characters in the games must be localized to a country’s customs and traditions in order for it to sell. For countries that have religious and cultural norms, censoring a video game before launching it is crucial. Censoring can include removing or limiting profanity, blood, gore, and violence depicted in the game.
Perhaps one of the most successful examples of game localization is when Nintendo launched their video games and Nintendo Entertainment System in the US. Nintendo ensured that their games were localized so that US audiences could easily play their games and relate with their characters. With their successful expansion to the US, Nintendo sold millions of games in both in the US and worldwide and is now a leader in the gaming industry.
