Another World creator explains why the game originally had different names in America and Japan

Back when Another World was released in the states, it was called Out of This World. For nearly ever re-release after the original, the name was switched over to Another World. Over in Japan, the original release was titled Outer World. Why on earth was the game's name different around the world? Creator Eric Chahi explained to NWR in the snippet below.

There was an American TV soap opera airing at the time named Another World. For this reason, Interplay preferred to change the name. For the game’s Japanese title, Outer World, it was probably just to have a title that sounded better in Japanese. I personally like Outer World very much.
