To be fair, the US version at $59.99 includes Monster Hunter Stories 1 & 2.

$29.99. Now this is the price these remasters should cost, looking at you Luigi's mansion 2 and paper mario thousand year door

I think for Paper Mario they remade the game from the ground up so I can understand the $60 price.

Luigi's Mansion is literally just a port with very slightly updated textures. It should absolutely not be $60

Hi folks, do Japanese cartridges generally contain the English language as well? For example, if I bought a Paper Mario (RPG) from Amazon Japan, could I play in English?

It depends on the game. A good way to check is to search the japanese copy on play-asia and see if it includes the other languages. Don't get the asia and japanese copies mixed up, since some games will have english in the asia version but not the japanese version. In the case of paper mario rpg, it does have english. Most recent first party nintendo titles have had english in the japanese release. I picked up pikmin 4 last year this way.

Many do but not all. Depends on the game. Play-Asia's website will tell you which languages are supported for each game. Just check the page.

I have a few Japanese/Asia version games from them that have English and play fine.

Unfortunately this was cheaper a week ago. I believe in the low $20s . There's the US version but 2nd game is voucher dlc. Collectibility-wise not great since only 1st game is in the cartridge.
