More Koreans know basic English than Japanese. But I always see the Japanese game coming here first. I hate to say it but Korea is a haven for piracy but if Nintendo is going to try and sell here at least bring more English games and deal with translating later. Oh well back to Ebay I go to find cool games Im in Korea and you know what the really stupid thing is.

Nevermind, I retract my statement. What we can't play on our DS's is Chinese games, but it doesn't matter, because we already have all the games :p Oh snap, I tried the Korean version of Wario Ware and it worked fine.

That's pretty much exactly why I like foreign music. “except I have no idea what they’re singing.”

I still have Paper Mario RPG and it hangs when I used the freeloader :(.. I'm not too crazy about K-pop though.. their songs sound very Jpn in terms of rhythm and tones of the singers, except I have no idea what they're singing.

I think the text display issue may have came from using the swap disc. I've never had any problems with a Gamecube and a region flip switch. @Midnight Scott - are you buying Korean carts or are you using some kind of flash cart? @Ryu Kazama - You used a freeloader right?

I do understand the language display issue, though. I had that problem with the first Naruto: Gekitou Ninja Taisen game on the GC. It wouldn't display the actual Japanese text correctly. The last three games in the series worked fine though. If I have to import a Korean DS to…beat off (wow, that didn’t sound dirty at all…) to some Korean music, so be it.

I don't think the games will work...those might be region restricted. Our DS's don't have the same firmware as Chinese or Korean versions, so the games won't display the language, or may not work at all.

Epik High must have a song in this game. 'Fly', 'Love, Love, Love', 'Fan' whatever, Epik High need to be in this. Se7en would be a wise choice. No doubt crazy fan-girls will buy it (and for Rain/Bi too). Epik High for Ouendan/EBA, PLEASE!
