multilingual DS games in the North American region

[pdRydia]

WHAT: This is an attempt to compile a comprehensive list of (North American) DS games that have language options; what options they have; and how to access those options.

WHY: This information is difficult to find in the United States. It's rarely advertised on packaging and even the manual doesn't include this information. While Canadian packaging and manuals may hold more insight, I don't really have access to these. French Canadian sites may attempt to compile lists like this, but I do not understand French well enough to navigate them.

WHO CARES:

• students -- It's useful (and frequently fun) to be able to study with games. As a student at the college level, with a household of my own to manage, I appreciate being able to merge study and leisure time, which frees up an hour or two for other things I need or want to do.
• teachers -- Smart teachers will exploit the above.
• people whose native language isn't English -- 23.2% of Canadians speak French as their native language; 12% of Americans speak Spanish at home; furthermore, Europeans often import NA games for various reasons. One might imagine that such people would at least like to know whether or not they would have the option of playing a game in their native language.
• bi- or multilingual gamers who want more bang for their buck -- Playing a game in one language isn't necessarily the same experience as playing it in another language. In my opinion, a game like Dragon Quest IV, with its dialect imitations and puns, is worth playing in each language you understand.

HOW TO CHECK FOR LANGUAGE OPTIONS:

1. The first and easiest way to find language options is to look at the game's PACKAGING. In the United States, this very rarely tells you anything; I do not know about Canadian or other countries' packaging.
   • EXAMPLE 1: Dragon Quest IX's US packaging tells you it plays in English, French and Spanish in teeny tiny print on its back; its Canadian packaging tells you it plays in English and French in large text on its front.
   • EXAMPLE 2: Personal Trainer: Cooking's US packaging tells you the game contents are in English only in teeny tiny print on its back.
2. The second easiest way is through an IN-GAME MENU. This is often an explicit language option under the options menu. Sometimes, you will find this represented by a flag icon.
   • EXAMPLE: Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift allows you to choose between English, French, and Spanish through an options menu at the title screen.
3. The third way is the most time consuming way. You must change the language ON YOUR DS SYSTEM and then load up your game. Many games have "hidden" language settings that only activate according to your DS's language setting. There are only 6 languages that can be found this way, because there are only 6 languages you can set your DS to: English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, and Spanish. NB: Please do not confuse Deutsch (German) for Dutch!
   • Example 1: Chrono Trigger will load in French if you DS is set to French. If it is set to any other language, it will load in English.
   • Example 2: Sonic Rush and Sonic Rush Adventure will load in English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, or Spanish according to the language you set your DS to.
4. The most annoying way a company hides language options is through BUTTON CODES.
   • EXAMPLE 1: In Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia, you can press L + R + SELECT while booting the game in order to bring up a menu that allows you to choose between English or French. This information is not included ANYWHERE in the U.S. packaging or manual.
   • EXAMPLE 2: In Time Hollow, you can press L + R while booting the game game in order to bring up a menu that allows you to choose between English or French. This information is not included ANYWHERE in the U.S. packaging or manual.

• JP region games: As I understand it, most DS games released in Japan are monolingual, with some exceptions such as the Gyakuten Saiban series. I would be amenable to keeping a list of known multilingual Japanese games; I imagine it'd be short.
• EU games: Some EU games are released with 5 languages on 1 cart (English, French, German, Italian, Spanish). Some are monolingual. To my knowledge, it's hard to tell which games are which until you buy it and plug it into your DS (much like with NS games).
• AU games: i dunno lol.

[kawaiipikachu]

To answer your last question Australians do get multilingual games like for example Impossible Mission(yes the words are the right way around) has about 5 languages chooseable at startup which are English French German Italian & Spanish .

I do also own a north ameracan copy of Final Fantasy Tatics A2: Gilmore of the Rift which has English Spanish & French .

Really? I never found this option in my game. How do you access this?

You're right! I totally wasn't expecting any RPGs to have multilanguage options, but I just went through mine and quite a few do. Adding now.

I don't know what I was thinking, the game only lets you turn VA on or off.

[pdRydia]

GAMES CHECKED:

• This is a list of games that are not effected by French or Spanish language settings. Games included in post 1 are not included. The purpose of this list is to help people avoid wasting their time checking games that have already been checked.
  • A - Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney | Avalon Code |
  • B - Bangai-O Spirits | Bust-A-Move DS |
  • C - Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow | Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia | Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin | Contact |

  • Y - Yoshi's Island DS |
  • Z - Zenses Ocean | Zenses Rainforest |
• Others:
  • I have not checked Personal Trainer: Cooking. The back of its box reads "Game content in English Only / Contenu du jeu en Anglais Seulement".
  • I have not checked My Japanese Coach or My Spanish Coach.
  • The other language settings on a NA DS are German, Italian and Japanese. Generally, I don't check these settings if a game doesn't have French or Spanish options. (However, I did check the Atlus RPGs Contact, Dark Spire, and My World My Way for a Japanese option, since it seems like that'd be a selling point for Atlus's target audience. Nothing, but I might check my other Atlus games, anyway.)

[Jogurt the Yogurt]

I see you've already edited in your RPGs. I was going to say, Square tends to love doing this stuff. Even Final Fantasy IV: The After Years (WiiWare, not DS) has a French language option.

[SegaFan]

I'm not clear on how AU and EU games work as far as language goes? I only have one EU game (Essential Sudoku DS, which few people seem to have heard about) and it doesn't seem to have language settings nor did its text change when I put it into my DS. Are EU regional after all?

European games are translated into a lot of langauges, but different languages may appear in different versions depending on where the game is bought if there isn't enough space for all of them. Each game has a colour-coded triangle on its spine so you can tell which country/region in Europe the game was intented for (for instance UK is green, Germany is blue, apparently there are about 49 but games don't always end up in their intended country so you can get a mixture). This is the same for Wii and Gamecube and Europe is still one region as far as region coding goes.

Oh! Yeah, my game has a little green triangle on it.

When you're shopping for a game, is there anyway to tell if you can adjust its language beforehand, or do you just have to research it online first?

I'm afraid I don't pay much attention to it because I play games in English. I'd also assume that some languages wouldn't be available at all for some games (or the manual may be translated but not the game, which is common), but I can't really tell you much more than that. When buying online you also can't guarantee which version you'll get, but I'd imagine your best bet to get a particular language is to buy from a country that speaks that language.

I didnt properly realised that having French for game released in North Ameraca Canada region does makes sense as a certian percentage of canadians are native french speakers so it makes sense

Anyway jogurt whats your native tounge .

Yeah, Wikipedia thinks "French is the mother tongue of about 6.7 million Canadians (22.7% of the Canadian population)." In addition, there's another 1.6 million speakers in the US (according to the 2000 US census and its criteria, eg, 'the language most frequently spoken at home by Americans over the age of 5'), making for 8.3 million people in Canada and the U.S who are most comfortable with French. Dunno about the rest of the NA countries--it's surprisingly difficult to find sourced estimates.

Thanks for the info! Do you need to change an in-game setting to do so, or change the DS settings? Do you know if there are any other language options?

[pdRydia]

+ Scribblenauts [EN][FR][PO][SP] - Allows you to switch text between English, French, Portuguese or Spanish at any time from an options menu.

(to be added as soon as I stop receiving a 500 internal server error)

[enigmaopoeia]

I was about to reply with this, but I also got hit with the nasty 505.

I could have recalled that Time Hollow also had a language option. I remember when I try to delete the data by pressing and holding Start, Select, L Button, and R Button. Instead it let me change the language to English or French. I have to test it out later, since I gave the game to my sister.

:0 Interesting! Do let us know!

[enigmaopoeia]

Okay, I was able to play Time Hollow. Before turning on the game, press and hold the L Button and R Button. Then it will prompt you to choose your language between English or Français.

Amazing that this option was never mentioned in the instruction manual.

[pdRydia]

Thanks Enig, got that updated.

[PoisonRamune]

Might and Magic: Clash of Heroes (English, French, Spanish)
Selectable at the title screen/main menu.

[pdRydia]

Thanks, Poison!

+ The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks [EN][FR][SP] - Automatic change based on your DS's language setting.
+ Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story [EN][FR][SP] - Automatic change based on your DS's language setting.
+ Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes [EN][FR][SP] - Manual change by menu.

And I checked Mega Man ZX for French and Spanish but found neither.

Someone let me know if HeartGold/SoulSilver have Spanish. It might be the excuse I need to spend money on one of them. :3

[PoisonRamune]

Prince of Persia: The Fallen King
English, French, Spanish, Italian, German selectable at title screen.

[pdRydia]

Cool, thanks!

I added Knights in the Nightmare and Disgaea DS to the list of games unaffected by Spanish/French DS settings.

[enigmaopoeia]

Crime Scenes for the DS had a multilanguage option available in the main menu. But I forgot what languages were available, I believe it was English, French, or Spanish.

[pdRydia]

Picross 3D plays in English, French, and Spanish. Language autochanges based on DS language settings.

Is that a game you still have, or one you traded in?

[enigmaopoeia]

Traded it in, that crap was unplayable. But I'll try to come across it again and see for myself.

[Jogurt the Yogurt]

Draqon Quest IX can be played in English and French in Canada. It's advertised right on the front of the case! Not sure about the language selection interface or what other languages it supports since I haven't opened it yet.

Thanks, enig!

Hey, Jogurt! Funny thing, I looked at the packaging of the U.S. DQ9, and it advertises that the game is in English, French, and Spanish! It's in itty bitty teeny tiny text, but still, it's a bold move to advertise language options in this country.

I'm really curious now if your Canadian DQ9 plays in Spanish. I'm assuming we got the same games, but different packaging, based on the different markets.

I assume that, too. Especially since the "French!" thing is advertised on the front cover in huge corner real-estate. I've started playing the game, so I should be able to test it out tonight if I can figure out how.

[pdRydia]

Okay, so I just found out that Order of Ecclesia will play in French. Hold L, R, and select while loading the game and you will be prompted to choose English or French. This may work for other Castlevania games (on DS and other platforms) so I'll be checking them). [edit: nope -- Just OoE.]

I bet it's in the French Canadian manual! :[
