Games need to be translated from Japanese before they can be released in foreign countries, and this is not a quick process. Translating the words literally does not work, things like jokes, or turns of phrase, rarely translate well into other languages. It therefore makes sense to release the original Japanese version first while translation into English and other languages goes on, rather than waiting for all the translations to be complete and having a worldwide release.
