2 of my games arrived today (Luigi’s Mansion is due for delivery next week) and although both have German language on the case they support a long list of different languages and both defaulted to English when inserted into my 3DS

Monster Hunter actually came up to say ‘changing default language to English’ without me having to do anything)

For what it’s worth, when I lived in Germany in 2005 and bought games for my Gamecube, there wasn’t a single one I tried which didn’t have full english language options.

I wouldn’t rely on that – for example looking on Shopto’s website for Luigi’s Mansion 2 it shows all the languages it supports which includes German (2nd flag in) – I can believe they have alternative box art but I dont believe they would include German in the language options for the cart in the UK but not include English on the cart in Germany

It says on the website Monster Hunter is multilingual, the others are just in German.

It depends on the game – for the limited number of 3DS games i have they list a number of languages (EN / DE / FR / NL / ES / PT / IT / RU on Super Mario 3D Land for example) but it does not mean that every game will have that.

I already have a title for the Nintendo offer so I picked Luigi (i’m sure i can play that in any language) / Super Mario Bros 2 (again I’m not worried if its German) and Monster Hunter (which would be complex but given the way the game works I’m confident i can work it out in another language)

So the answer which your probably not looking for is “its probably okay”

That worked – i’m through at the final page and its taken the price of one off – pity that some are now a few weeks to get stock but i’m not in a rush 🙂

Thanks

Try doing it through this page.

Anyone else tried it and confirm that it works ?

(for me the total was around 135 euros instead of the 90 or so it should have been)
