Btw: have you already read that the Nordic counties get the free game from MK8 without Club Nintendo? Do you have the UK versions or are there Nordic versions of Nintendo games? |
Yes I saw that :)
Bergsala, the distributor in Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Finland, does distribute localized games (box art and instructions). They're only translated to Danish and Swedish, recently also Finnish, no love for Norway :(
I see you're from Germany, I guess you're familiar with the colored triangles on the side of Nintendo covers? http://segaretro.org/Nintendo_of_Europe_Colored_Triangles
You can see there that Nordic countries has their own versions of the box and instructions. No translations of the game itself (Sony and Microsoft translate everything so it can't be that the countries are too small :)
I used to get purple triangles on the boxes, until Luigi's Mansion 2 came out. That was the first one with Finnish text, yellow-green triangles.
EDIT: There are also first-party games that are not localized this way from Bergsala, in those cases we get UK versions. Sometimes Club Nintendo codes come with them too, I've used them for Wii Points so far. But in the localized boxes there are no Club Nintendo codes. For Mario Kart 8 they'll include a code (or they will just use UK boxes).
Yep.
