I have bought TWO copy's of Super Metroid off ebay FROM Australian sellers but they still keep turning up in German text!?!?!?!

Could this be my SNES console or the SNES carts?

Suggestions..?

probably not much help Alex,but could the game have been coded in German .......??Just a thought mate Smile

Of coz just because you bought them from OZ sellers off eBay doesnt mean they didnt originate from Germany. Wink

Yeah the EU version of the game is stuck with those subtitles.
You can't disable them.

It seems unlikely to get two overseas games from Australian sellers and they didn't actually say they were overseas... But i guess you could have a look at the sticker on the games and look for where it came from eg australia should have something like AUS on it or USA would have USA on it etc...

Do all your other games work fine on your SNES?

The Aus version is the same as the EU version

True Ike. I browsed through the manual and it stated that you can't change the subtitles. FYI, I have two copys because I bought a complete copy in near mint condition because it has to be my all time fave Very Happy

i think the UK one came in a bigger sized box? Packed with some strategy guide or big manual...for the amount of success the game had in sales you dont see many at all on ebay
