    I'll make this short and sweet, a quick question for non-UK people in the EU - I'm from the UK, but am currently living in France for my 3rd year of Uni. I have the Monster Hunter bundle arriving tomorrow, and wanted to know if Nintendo games specifically, sold in non-anglophone countries (such as France, Germany, Spain, etc.) have the option to be all in English? I'd be absolutely fine with them in French but for whatever reason just wouldn't enjoy the experience as much, so I wanted to know if games like Ocarina of Time/Paper Mario/Kid Icarus are able to be played in full English (I know Mario 3D Land can be if the system language is set to English)? Cheers xx

    @markini6: I'm pretty sure that every game released in the PAL region is the same regardless of where you buy it, the only difference being what's written on the box and manual.

    It wouldn't make sense for Nintendo to manufacture different carts for each language (unless there was a huge amount of text and the other languages wouldn't fit otherwise). So you should be fine.

    Yeah, there should be language options for the main 6. It's why games tend to take longer to release in the EU - they have to do the translation.

    I can also confirm all what was said above! and plus you can in fact change the game language (if it's not in the game menu) by changing your 3DS/DS language/region.
