It’s usually only when games are developed in the US that North America gets the goods before Japan. Thus is the case with Burnout Paradise (PS3, Xbox 360) by Electronics Arts. Japanese gamers won’t see Burnout Paradise for nearly a month after it’s North American release. But in typical fashion, they get some Japan-specific content.

US players may or may not be familiar with the band, B’z. For the uninitiated, the Japanese rock duo (Tak Matsumoto and Koshi Inaba) are they’re pretty huge, having sold more than 75 million records. Not only is B’z a part of the Burnout Paradise soundtrack, but get their own secret vehicle (B’z Car), shown above. Apparently, there will be information closer to the release on how the vehicle can be unlocked.

Burnout Paradise is available now in the US and will debut in Japan on February 21st.
