Hey all ! I’m really excited about the sonic origins plus game coming out physically. I really like the Japanese version of the game , it also comes with this really cool extra which is an LP shaped rubber coaster ! My only conundrum is that I’m not sure if this game will be playable in English? Does anyone know , I can’t seem to find any information anywhere on this ! Thank you 🙏

@lemonjellydude : I've checked the Japanese eShop listing, and yes, it appears that it will support English (and the usual slate of languages). It has been reported, however, that the physical release will include a download code...

...and this may not be redeemable in the UK eShop.

I have no idea whether multi-region Switch download codes are a thing, but it's likely that any DLC codes will require a Japanese NNID. If it comes to that, then you can create a Japanese account and link that to a new profile on your Switch console (as your console will be considered the primary console for this account, you can continue using your UK-based profile to play the game and utilise the DLC). Or you can opt to ignore the DLC entirely.

But where there is a local physical release of a game available, I would strongly recommend that you pick that up instead, if only to avoid these sorts of cumbersome situations.

That’s amazing I did wonder about the DLC so I probably won’t bother . Dont think it’s really worth that hassle for a bit of plastic ! Thanks for the really useful info !

Any games you want to get in from the Japanese eshop or physical Japanese cartridges. Just go into the Japanese eshop & you can change the keyboard so you write in English but it will show Japanese wording for whatever game your looking for then use your phone with Google translate app & have it translate from Japanese to English & you'll be able to see when you look up certain games under the description for each game it will show which languages each game supports~ 👍✌️

Happy Gaming! (^_^)
