Last time it was Zelda and Metroid.
This year the cube will see Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicals and Metal Gear Solid: Twin Snakes.
The GBA gets Sword of Mana and Sabre Wulf.
As surprised as I am to find myself admitting it, I guess this shows Ninty have a good grasp of their marketting strategy, it just surprises me that they bunch big releases together like this, at least when it's not christmas. Surely they'd take sales from each other?
Ah well, they probably make that up with console sales...

I've started reading Japanese, that's enough for me, you can get some very good Japanese to English dictionaries at the library, are you teaching yourself ?
It must be the only language where "no" has more characters than "yes"
Also there are some helpful chaps over on the www.ntsc-uk.com forums if you ever get stuck translating.

Yep, there's access to English, even in the most remote valleys, but these areas are usually fiercely nationalistic, and there are a lot of people who make an effort to be 'true' to the welsh language.
For this, half a tv station and a few (including local) radio stations are enough.
It does happen, I've met people like this who really do struggle with English.

I'm sure they have TVs, Radio and other forms of audio and visual entertainment to learn language from though.
There is only 1 Welsh speaking channel in Wales, and half of that is in English.
As far as I am aware, BBC Cymru is the only Welsh speaking radio station.
As far as I am aware, all movies shown in welsh cinemas are in English.
It would be VERY difficult for them not to learn English, even in the more remote areas of Wales.
Sure, English may not be their first language, but they'll have a clear understanding of it atleast.

There are, at least not to a high standard. I explained it below, they grow up in welsh-speaking communities, very rarely speaking english. It's understandable that they aren't very good with it.

The majority of the Welsh who speak Welsh can speak and understand English - I'd be suprised if there was any Welsh speakers who do not.
Welsh, unlike French, German, etc, is a dying language, despite what the National Assembly of Wales think. They tried to force it upon me in school and I know only very basic Welsh - it is far easier to speak English in the only country to speak Welsh.
As much as the Welsh nationalists may disagree, English is the national language of wales now.

Presumably anyone with a US import will be able to check for themselves what languages software companies do translate into.
As for Canada - I'd expect it to be like Wales - the big majority of people do speak good English either first or second language, but there are some people who grow up in areas speaking exclusively French / Welsh, so very rarely speak much English, and thus suck at it.
So probably some Canadians who don't speak sufficient English, but then again, nobody translates games into Welsh.

There are chinease people in the UK does that mean we need the chinease language to?
Canadians mostly speak English as either a first or second language.
Last March we got Metroid Prime, Resident Evil 0 and Super Monkey Ball 2 as well as some other title I cannot quite remember.......

Yes but doesn't the US version also cover canada and other areas therefore requiring french and spanish translations aswell?
However the problem can easily be solved:
Where is Nintendo UK? Screw Europe!
