I've always hated it. To the point of actually being legitimately pissed off.
The *crag* games are in English, so why do they have to put 3 languages on the box? If someone can't understand English, than why put more languages on? If a Spanish/French speaker can ONLY read the box, then what makes Nintendo think they'll understand the *crag* game? A GREAT example is Super Paper Mario.
"Yep, I can read the box. I'm a Spanish-only speaker."
*reads the box some more, puts the game in the Wii*
"I can't understand a thing. This is 100% English."
*point proven*
I hate it. One of my biggest pet peeves. |

Because, my dear Watson, Nintendo dislikes using the space on their boxes for more epic things, like better descriptions and an awesome background.
They do the same thing with most instruction books, too, if you never noticed. |

I was about to add that into my post, actually.
Yep, the Brawl box could have been a little better... if it weren't for those STUPID LANGUAGES COVERING IT... And the booklets, oh yes, they annoy me too. I see a thick instruction booklet and think "Oh, wow! A booklet full of info and details!" And then I get a third of the way into it. "WHAT THE HELL? It's the exact same shit! IN FRENCH and or SPANISH!" |

Personally, I don't give a shit.
And if they can't understand the game, that's what the *crag* MANUAL IS THERE FOR
TO INFORM YOU ON HOW TO START THE GAME
IN THREE DIFFERENT LANGUAGESಠ_ಠ |

I'm pretty sure if you change the wii menu langauge it changes the game's language in the games that have all three. |

Speaking of languages, I think it stinks that North America Wiis can't do any typing in Japanese. Because the North America DS can do it just fine, and Mario Kart Wii Wi-Fi names show up just fine, but why can't I input anything on the Wii using non-English stuff? Totally not fair, Nintendo.
...At least I can use special characters like music notes and stars. BTW, why would you actually need special characters in Mii names? |

if you haven't noticed, some people make Miis of various celebrities or characters.
Some of these characters have a symbol with the pronunciation of said symbol as their name.ಠ_ಠ |

I don't really see the problem, at least from a nerd's point of view. Usually, I know all about a game before I buy it, so I see no need for the back cover anyway.
Oh, btw, the back of my Brawl box is completely in English :) |

The boxes here are mostly in English, since first party Nintendo games are NEVER translated to Dutch. |
