Hideo Kojima joked that he should "quit being Japanese" when talking about his addiction to Left 4 Dead, something that's rare in a Japanese gamer.

Further talking about the differences between the Western and Japanese gaming markets, Kojima says that the US and European marketplaces are much better balanced, containing a good mixture of family-friendly games and core titles.

And he continues to love Left 4 Dead, despite people telling him that the game would never work in Japan. It looks like he's starting to embrace the Western approach he announced last week.

I wonder if Left 4 Dead appeals to him because of the strong Co-Op aspects. Maybe real Co-Op, not just "two guys shooting next to each other," might be the way for FPS to break into the Japanese market.
