@BruceCM What game is that, which you expect to be arriving in your mail box, then?
Got a couple of games on the way myself as well...
@Anti-Matter Was that really the only source/place for you to get that game? Aren't there any other used game stores with web sites or so? And as a last resort, you could always look for an Action Replay disc or a Freeloader disc (those are officially released discs, so not pirate software, just in case). The Action Replay disc is even better, because that has more options and has the Freeloader included. Freeloader is a program that tricks the console into thinking that it is from another region, so then you could always choose to look for the USA or EU version of the game, which is still quite easy to get a hold of, and play those instead.
EDIT:
Important note: when using Freeloader/Action Replay, and playing games from other regions, you will need a separate GameCube memory card, because the game you'll play, will format the card in the region that it's in, so if you are, for example, playing a European game on a Japanese console, then it will format your entire memory card to PAL/EU, and you will lose all the game saves already on there, so simply buy another memory card for import games.
@1UP_MARIO No, actually, it's not cheaper. If you look at the first link I posted, that's a lower price, and of course, you also need to take the p&p into account, so adding all that up for both offers, the link you posted is definitely not the better option. And besides: he doesn't want cheats, homebrew or anything else. All he would need it to do, is enable him to play discs from another region.

@Eel Really? I've got the original EU version playing just fine on my Wii. I don't know if there's any distinct difference between the PAL and NTSC versions, but it would seem quite strange to me if there actually was something that could cause this to occur on different versions of the game.

@ThanosReXXX@1UP_MARIO
It's okay.
I already have Paper Mario Sticker Star 3DS and Color Splash Wii U. 🙂
I have finished Sticker Star 6 years ago, but still haven't finished Color Splash. 😅
I still doubt to consider Super Paper Mario Wii despite there is a dirt cheap of the game at my local game store. (I found Super Paper Mario was somehow creepy if you digest the storyline). 😣
With pandemic situation right now, i think it's not wise to spend ridiculous price of Paper Mario TTYD and most of them are PAL region and cannot be delivered to Indonesia. 😔
Actually, i considered Gamecube as a Minor priority console as only a few games i consider from Gamecube. I rarely play Gamecube games since i bought on February 2017. Only Harvest Moon Magical Melody Gamecube i have managed to finish the storyline and collect the remaining musical notes. I played them on my Wii with latest update so it will not accept Freeloader anymore.
Paper Mario the Origami King is coming on July 2020.
I will pick that game as replacement of TTYD for portability and availability.
@1UP_MARIO You DID see me mention that those extras don't matter, right? It was purely an option for him in regards to region free gaming.
Also, that second codejunkies link you posted for Anti-Matter clearly states: "Please note that Freeloader for GameCube is for use on European consoles". Seeing as he lives in Asia, that one isn't really going to do him any good...
@BruceCM Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 and Animal Crossing New Horizons. I just picked the former out of my own mail box when I got home from grocery shopping...
@Anti-Matter the eBay link I gave you shows mainly USA/NTSC region versions of the game, and if you scroll further down, there's offers for as low as $24, so that's pretty cheap. But of course, it was just an option/suggestion. It's ultimately your own choice.
I do have to say that TTYD is unique and one of the best games in the series, though, so getting another Paper Mario as a replacement doesn't really compare.

@1UP_MARIO No need for apologies, just giving you a heads up.
@BruceCM Oh, I definitely will, but the whenever part will certainly be somewhat of a thing, especially since I've got another item coming in, either tomorrow or in the first half of the next week.
But I'll get around it, one of these days. Animal Crossing is going to be a time sink, though, so I'll have to see about that one. But I still decided to get it, because it simply belongs in the Switch collection, far as I'm concerned.
This blue eye perceives all things conjoined. The past, the future, and the present. Everything flows and all is connected. This eye is not merely seen reality. It is touching the truth. Open the eye of truth... There is nothing to fear.
@BruceCM Ah... that's a surprise. I already received certain "parts" of it, because I couldn't get all of it at the same web shop, or not for the lowest price, but the main item is still on its way. I mentioned it a couple of days ago, that I would be receiving/had acquired something new other than games (seeing as I already mentioned getting Animal Crossing several times before).
But I also promised that I'd post pictures, so you'll know soon enough...
Meanwhile, all this game talk and the late visit to the super market kinda ruined my appetite for cooking, and it's Friday, so to begin the weekend on a culinary high note, I treated myself to one of these:
EDIT:
And as I was typing this comment, I got an e-mail notifying me of the fact that my copy of Animal Crossing was dropped into my mail box, so I went down and picked it up. Island life, here I come!
Does the Japanese copy of Final Fantasy on the Switch that I posted above comes in English voice and text right from the start? The only thing that is Japanese is the cover?
I am asking because I really want to add it to my collection BUT the Asia version is sold out and the copies in Ebay are in idiotic prices.
Anyone know if I pop the cartridge in my EU Switch (not that it matters but still) it would start in English text/voice?
