Cultural references should be kept intact... it's doubtful anybody not interested in japanese culture would play this game at all...
i'm not interested in japanese culture. i'm interested in retro gaming. i have been looking forward to playing this game for that reason alone. i am sure there are many more out there who want to play it for similar selfish reasons or simply want to play the sequel to the first game.
pachinko machines are in some arcades in the US. the machines have been featured on the tv show, storage wars. if you followed the fast and the furious series, then you saw them on tokyo drift. -- my point being, i am sure a great deal of non-japanese games will know what these machines are. as previously stated, cultural references should remain intact as they are important and reference iconic ideas, moments, and situations that should not be lost to translation.
