Doesn't the Wii decide which of the languages the game should use, after the users "language settings?" Brawl is a good example to that theory. I don't know how the language system is in America, but here in Europe, the games have multiple languages.
And I don't understand why Nintendo would put those kind of languages on american games. Spain and France is a part of Europe after all.  |

Ohai, I come from Spain, but live in America. I only speak Spanish(Spain's Kind). Oh wow, this game looks cool. I think i'll buy it. Wait WTF? I don't understand anything. This game sucks. If only it had compatibility. |

French-speakers people all around Canada to the north, especially in Quebec, and Spanish-speakers all around in Mexico to the south, but don't think I necessarily speak French. |

Still doesn't explain why Americans are stuck with shitty boxes. If someone is in America playing American games, they need to learn how to speak and read the national language: English. I hate how almost everything has a Spanish/French/both alternative somewhere near the English words. |

In Canada, our Charter of Rights and Freedoms or some shit like that makes it so everything must be in English AND French due to them both being official languages. There's like... 6 Frenchies in western Canada. I just suck it up and ignore it... Unless the Frenchie stuff is first. Then I get peeved off. |

We have no national language.
Thus why we have multiple languages on the back of boxes.
Because I'm sure that there's some way to change languages.
If there isn't NOA's retarted. 3:|════׀ |

However, most games are Japanese exclusive, and you could always look up screenshots and gameplay footage for games. There's also the manuals. If I want to buy a game, that's what I always do.
And to be honest, it's just words. It's not like they're gonna jump out at you or something. I honestly don't care, since you're just playing the game. |

It's because Nintendo needs to use something to fill up space on the box, so they just put in translations. |

Geno, you DO know PS3 games do that, too, right? I don't know about PSP or Xbox360, but PS3 games have them. (SCIV and LBP, anyway  )
