What are the differences between Western and Japanese gamers?

The biggest differences are to how players see the games.

Western players prefer to experience the game world through the character's eye. On the other hand, Japanese players can enjoy the experience both as if they are the characters and through the character's eye.

Natsume are quite a family-oriented publisher. How does the Buffy game fit in to this?

Our focus is always kids. We hope they dream of becoming heroes through our games.

A beautiful young girl, Buffy, defeats enemies and by not giving up her fate of being a slayer she becomes a hero. It is a different pattern from the usual kids' action game. Buffy is a vampire slayer; yet she is a fighter to save people.
