Gaming Nintendo Game's Colour'd Triangles

[Pong20302000]

well this applys for all nintendo games but im posting it here

when you purchase a game from ninty there is always a coloured triangle on EUR boxes
and the colour determines the origin and languages on it

as 3DS games seem to be hard to get e.g.
Tales of the Abyss
Naruto Shippuden: the new era

people have to import to get the game

but never know what languages are available

will heres the nintendo colour chart so you know the origion of you game and what langs are on it

i hope this helps people

and also stop Ebay fraudsters from saying the game is your region just because it has english on it

It would have been much simpler if the 3DS wasn't region locked.

this has nothing to do with region locks
its purely languages on the different EUR versions

yeah i noticed alot of people dont show the spine of the case on ebay for this reason

so they can charge rediculous ammounts just because it has eng and they claim its UK version

pretty much all ebay versions people are selling is
Tales of Abyss
LNA-CTR-AABP-FRA
which is the french version claiming its the UK
when the UK code is
LNA-CTR-AABP-UKV

i just thought this ould be really helpfull for people trying not get ripped off

im gonna check all my games tongiht

if they have a pic of the Game cart tho the code on teh front will end with one of the above codes also

 

[RedJiggly]

Even tough I have a USA 3DS, I wonder. Are these triangles printed somewhere on the EU cartridges itself as well?

no they are not on the cartridge
but a code is

USA code would be for tale of the abyss
LNA-CTR-AABE-USA

where Europe ones are
LNA-CTR-AABP-XXX (XXX = one of the codes under Name of teh above table)
