Will the english version have a japanese language option?

[igloo9]

Does anyone know if the English version of brawl will have a japanese language option? I like all of the characters japanese voices and battlecries, like pits side special when he goes "Eineineinei!"

Anyone know if the english version is gonna have this option or not?

Well... the English version isn't out yet so I say that no one outside of Sora knows.

All the leaks we have now are just from the Japanese version and so we technically have no information on what the English version will include

I'm putting my money on a yes. If the Japanese have both Japanese and English versions of songs, why can't we plus more?

melee had Japaneses so ima guess brawl will have Japaneses

 

[I.T.P]

I'm thinking no.

why is that?

well the Japanese Melee had English, yet the Japanese Brawl does not.

I'm assuming it will work the same way around.

It better, I'd rather play as Fushigisou than Ivysaur. D:

 

[Sychu]

I don't think it'll have an optin for that but the japanese will probably be left on ikes and marths moves.

Are you trying to sound like Mario?

I have a feeling that it won't have a Japanese option. Given the larger amount of characters with different voices(especially the Pokemon), the fact that there's three Star Fox characters who have sets of vocalized taunt conversations and Snake who gets several lines per opponent character, that'd alone be a lot of audio to have two languages of compared to Melee. Kirby Air Ride, which features NO voice work, not even for Kirby, didn't feature a Japanese option, so it's possible that after Melee that ability was removed. Brawl also has two layers, but the second houses (near?) full screen FMV videos... It's also possible they'd have to redo the audio in many of the videos, when they feature grunts and attack voices for characters with different voices. I'm guessing they wouldn't be able to fit all that comfortably.

Most likely.

Melee came out a week after the japan release because all they had to do was turn the default language setting to something else.

Brawl is obviously taking longer for a reason, and if we were to have both english and japanese options, I'm pretty confident the current japanese release would have both options too, which it doesn't, as far as we know.

The Japanese version has no language change option so the English version probably won't.

 

[Gotann]

I really hope that japanese language is included. But with the Japanese version having only one language, it looks unlikely (Espcially after hearing that the Japanese melee had an English version).
Hopefully, one of the reason for the delay is to include Japanese language....

 

[PKM]

Melee did, so why not brawl?

 

[Burninator]

No.

It is very unfortunate, but all current signs right now point to having no Japanese option in the game.
