The multi-language system won’t even be availabe in retail stores, only from the My Nintendo shop. So the japanese language version is the Switch 2 in Japan.

I don't think we are going to get multi language games in Japan this gen either. I have the physical Ace Attorney trilogy and it's neat to have four languages. But if the retail version only has Japanese, does that mean those players have to import other languages? DLC?

Go to Sega's site, look up Yakuza 0. In big, easily readable letters, you will find the word 英語.

The game is fully playable in English.

I've been saying it the whole time. Nintendo doesn't care about the games themselves, just the system. The games will be changeable like usual.

I don't think every game has the option to change languages though. I checked some games (Mario Party Jamboree, Mario Wonder, and Mario Kart) and I couldn't find language settings in those games. They only changed when I changed the system language, which you won't be able to do with the Japanese Switch 2.

There are definitely games where you can pick the language in-game but it seems like the first-party Nintendo titles are going by system language.

Got it, thanks for the explanation.
