Are DVD cases in three languages? Are CDs?

I'm starting to figure the only way they get people to watch that show is by making them think they're supposed to think it's funny/cool. I know that's what happened to me for a while *bonks self over head for not being sentient enough*

On a somewhat similar note, real gamers don't get game tips from Disney Adventures, Boy's Life, and the back of Lunchables boxes laden with Yoshi stock art.

I think Twilight Princess was in English either because they hadn't caught whatever bug has compelled them to produce their game cases like the safety instuctions to a blender, or because they knew better than to eff up the best Zelda game ever made so that deaf Chinese children could read it.

...Fine, I'll tone it down a bit. The basic point is, it forces them to make the everything on the back really small, only Nintendo games are being given this treatment (every game, or none of them, ok?), and the actual games aren't in three different tounges, anyway (Wouldn't the title's names change in other countries, anyway? How does this save money?).

And if it's so crucial to our society for French tourists and, um... immigrants to know who rated Excite Truck "E", why has no other company ever done it in the history of videogames (except for the Donkey Konga bongo package and that Metroid Prime: Hunters demo. What the heck...)?

As you've probably noticed, Nintendo has decided to manufacture the cases for all its published Wii games in the three main translated languages. A petty issue, yes, but it's honestly bugging me. The whole thing just seems distracting and superfluous. How do you feel, if at all?

I'll put it this way: No. Somebody brought up this topic in EGM a while back, and I think the comparison to used car sales is pretty accurate. Really, what's the big deal here?

Aaaawwwwwww crap. Crap crap crap crap. I'd been planning this for YEARS! Stupid HTML.

No offense, but I thought this was a AF joke you had made up yourself, and those URLs were just made-up for the purpose of humorous self-incimination.

Yeah, but it's still pretty cool. Nevermind the fact that it's completely illogical for Bowser or Peach to be there...
