multilingual DS games in the North American region (take 2)

[pdRydia]

What's this? This is a list of (North American) DS games that have language options; what options they have; and how to access those options.

Who cares?: Well, me, primarily. Compiling this information is a bit of a personal project. I've posted it here on the off-chance someone else may have an interest in what I know, or that someone may be willing to add to what I know.

Index:

• Games that play in a language other than English - Part 1 -- Games that have been hand-checked by me, another forumer, or both, and found to have language options. Game packaging that claims the existence or non-existence of language options is considered authoritative.
  
• Games that play in a language other than English - Part 2 -- Games that play in a language other than English, according to another source such as a game's pre-release promotional material, game reviews, or a developer or publisher website. My most used sources right now are jouezenfrancais.ca and nintendo.com. Listed separately from part 1 because these sites can be inaccurate. Periodically updated with a sweep through each site.
  
• Games that play only in English -- Games that have been hand-checked by me, another forumer, or both, and found to play only in English. There may still be a slight possibility of a language option being overlooked in a menu or hidden via a code.
• Games without known language options -- Every other DS game. Periodically updated.

GAMES THAT ONLY PLAY IN ENGLISH

Each game on this list plays in English and English only. I have personally hand-checked each one to see if they respond to any non-English DS Lite language setting (French, German, Italian, Japanese, Spanish). I have also checked every game for a menu that allows the player to change the language. On some, but not all, I have checked for a code that allows the user to change the language (a thoroughly scientific approach which involves mashing down buttons while booting up the game).

That said, it is possible that one or two of these games have language options that may be accessed through a code or menu that I did not discover. Please let me know if you discover a mistake!

GAMES WITHOUT KNOWN LANGUAGE OPTIONS

The following list of games comes from Nintendo.com. This is every game from their Master List of DS games that is not marked as having French or Spanish as an option AND is not already included in one of the above 3 lists.

NB: A North American game that does not offer French or Spanish is incredibly unlikely to offer any other language. However, it is still possible, as seen with Puyo Pop Fever, a game that offers Japanese.

I went through some of the ROM sites to see what languages are marked for what games, and "svenska" is marked on only a very few "USA" games. Petz Hamsterz Superstars is one of them. I'm sorry.

Not in North America. :[ I don't know of any European ones, either. There may be one in Japanese.

Its hard to know, personally, since I have NA versions of the games and that list appears to be generated from EU versions. If you are interested in a specific game, ask someone to check it for you for the language, or see if a local store will let you check it before buying. Possibly check the publisher/developer site, but don't hold out too much hope there...I checked a few myself, and was told they 'didn't have access to that information' and that I should 'check the internet'.

Nintendo.com has started publicly listing whether or not a game plays in French or Spanish. I have updated the format and content of the thread to reflect the information they provide.

[enigmaopoeia]

I was bored, so I went through all of my DS games:

GAMES WITH LANGUAGE OPTIONS, Part 1
Maestro! - Jump in Music {SIFGDNOPW} (menu).
^ I used these abbreviations for the additional languages not mentioned:
{D} = Danish is an option.
{N} = Dutch is an option.
{O} = Norwegian is an option.
{W} = Swedish is an option.

Since some of the languages are now sharing the same initials such as Spanish and Swedish, and Danish and Dutch. I'm not too sure if you want to go with the ISO 639-1 languages codes:

• {FR} = French is an option
• {DE} = German is an option
• {IT} = Italian is an option
• {JA} = Japanese is an option
• {ES} = Spanish is an option
• {PT} = Portuguese is an option
• {DA} = Danish is an option.
• {NL} = Dutch is an option.
• {NO} = Norwegian is an option.
• {SV} = Swedish is an option.

Therefore Maestro! - Jump in Music would appear as either:
Maestro! - Jump in Music {EsItFrDeDaNlNoPtSv} (menu)
Maestro! - Jump in Music {ES-IT-FR-DE-DA-NL-NO-PT-SV} (menu).

Entirely up to you.

GAMES THAT ONLY PLAY IN ENGLISH

• 999: Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors.
• Black Sigil: Blade of the Exiled.
• Etrian Odyssey III: The Drowned City.
• Glory of Heracles.
• Jake Hunter Detective Story: Memories of the Past.
• Luminous Arc 2.
• LUX-PAIN.
• Professor Layton and the Unwound Future.
• Rhythm Heaven.
• Rune Factory: A Fantasy Harvest Moon.

Also you misspelled my handle twice.

Honestly, I never thought it'd come up, since I'm only cataloguing North American games. The most exotic language in a NA games I've come across so far is Chinese. I've been thinking about making a separate list for EU DS games, but the idea just seems daunting: for one, I'm not in Europe! That seriously limits my access to EU games to test. There are ROMs, but --aside from legality issues-- there's no easy way to tell the region marker of those. And, of course, there's also an issue of completeness: there's just no easy way for me to tell how many regional variations of a game exist. :[ It is frustrating.

Ah, I see. Then you can ignore Maestro! Jump in Music since it is an European title.

I honestly thought that A Witch's Tale would have a French option because the manual have a section entirely in French.

Oops! Yeah, I checked that game. I managed to find a complete copy at a Gamestop out in Indiana.

A Witch's Tale is NIS, right? Disgaea DS is another NIS game that only plays in English. It actually has 2 separate manuals, though, 1 in English and 1 in French. I thought it was a Canadian thing at first, but I checked my brother's US copy and it's the same. (Though he got it from Amazon.com, and I hear they occasionally ship Canadian copies to US gamers.)

Out of curiosity, does A Witch's Tale have 2 separate manuals, or is the manual have an English section and a French section? Cuz a lot of NA games have the latter set-up (a few also have an English-French-Spanish set-up).

[edit] Updated with A Witch's Tale and Populous DS. Thanks!

The latter and A Witch's Tale is published by NIS.

I believe I purchased my copy from GameStop, and the serial number on the DS cartridge is NTR-CW3E-USA if that helps any.

Jake Hunter Detective (…Chronicles …Memories of the Past)

I checked and Jake Hunter Detective Chronicles is English only. So you can remove both of these from the "GAMES WITHOUT KNOWN LANGUAGE OPTIONS" section.

It's definitely useful, since all I know about languages on NA games comes from what I (and others) can observe from them.

Totally. :]

Just bought Kirby Mass Attack, and the back of the packaging says the game content is in French and Spanish! That's super neat, I hope it becomes standard to advertise that. Even if just Nintendo and Square Enix do that, those are the 2 companies I have traditionally bought from the most.

[edit] Also, this is the first/only Kirby DS game that plays in a language other than English!

[Versus22]

Well at least Nintendo is following Canada and other countries (example: PAL regions) in favor of putting multiple languages in games from manuals and/or gameplay.

I may be wrong here but I don't think NTSC or PAL actually applies to handhelds seeing as PAL and NTSC is to do with televisions (particularly resolution and colour transmission)

When referring to resolution PAL is superior, but if we're talking about the actual regions and what they entail such as release dates, region exclusives etc. NTSC is far better, specially when it comes to Nintendo consoles.
It's the reason I imported my NTSC Wii from Canada

Several of their games have multiple languages in them --manuals and packaging are even more likely to do so-- it's just that the packaging here in the U.S. doesn't/hasn't been advertising that. I'm beginning to think it never occurred to NoA that we may be interested in that information. They need to look at a census some time!

On every Club Nintendo survey I write, I mention that I'm more likely to buy a game if I know it plays in Spanish, that I expect the publisher to advertise it because no one else does, the a Spanish language option a pro, that English-only gameplay is a con, etc. I wonder if they've been seeing the dozens of surveys and going "Crap, look at all these people who've mentioned this, we gotta get on this!"

I was just trolling. I never really used NTSC so i don't know a much about it IK that the snes pal res was better though that's about all :P
