jackfb Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 hi everyone..looking at the boxes of my nintendo games i started to think about those coloured triangles at the base of the boxes..i know they are there to identify which language the game support (and also the languages of the box and the instruction booklet)..so..i wanted to know the link between each colour and the languages! you would say..don't you have anything better to do?yes,probably..but who cares..:awesome: anyway,i'm here to ask your help..tell the colours of the triangles you have on your boxes and which language/s there are on the boxes and on the instruction booklets! i'll start...nearly all of my games have a light blue triangle and the box is completely written in italian,as the instruction booklet is..no other language is available (the games,instead, is playable in 5 languages as i think all the actual NoE games are...english,german,french,italian and spanish but they start in the language the console is set).so..i think that light blue means italy or more generally italian-speaking region because there are both the address of Nintendo Italia (the italian branch of nintendo) and of the swiss distributor "waldmeier" for italian switzerland!the only exceptions i have are two games with a pinkpurple triangle(i don't know how to call that colour..maybe magenta)..and here there is the first mystery..the colour of the triangle is the same..but one game has the booklet and the box in 4 languages (french,italian,spanish and german)and the other one (bought in paris) has only one language (french)..i can't understand why..i thought that that colour was for games sold in all of those 4 markets (france,italy,germany and spain)! ok i'll stop talkin 'bout it:yay: but..i'll wait your answers bye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speedysurfer Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 Well, yellow is Portugal (or at least games with instructions in both spanish and portuguese). Oddly enough, I have two brown triangled games for the DS... Maybe it's not really for aussies, cause I think it doesn't make much sense that a store in Portugal imported from Australia... Actually, the two brown games have the boxes in spanish, portuguese and italian. Also, I have a magenta one...it has the instructions in spanish and italian. So... Yellow - Portuguese and Spanish Brown - Portuguese, Spanish and Italian Magenta - Spanish and Italian Pink - Spanish only Green - English These are the ones I have.
