I can't seem to find those information anywhere. I'm thinking about importing an asian vita with asian games because I read somewhere that the asia version of the Vita will include an english menu. But does it also include other languages, german in particular? How about the games I'm interessted in, like Uncharted, Katamari, Disgaea 3 or Dynasty Warriors: Will they have english (or german) menues / subtitles / voice acting? If anyone knows anything, I'd be very happy to know, thanks :)

While horrible Sony EU and Sony NA couldn't help me, Sony hong kong gave me the following answer:

-----

Vita support lots of languages you can choose the one for your preference, and your inquiry about the games please kindly browse the below website for the detail information.

-----

I guess it's pretty much a given that lots of languages include english, but I asked to make sure. The link shows that Uncharted will have an english option. For other games I'm interessted in (Katamari, Disgaea 3 and Dynasty Warriors NEXT) I already contacted NIS, Namco Bandnai and temco Koei, let0's see what they'll write me back :)

While I wasn't able to find the contact info on NIS, NISA wrote me that the asia version of Disgaea 3 will support english.

Anyone got more infos?

Just in case anyone cares / searches for this information ... at any time.

Vita supports a lot of languages, including german and english
Asia Katamari is chinese only, but it can easely be played if you know that red is "ok/yes/good" in chinese culture
Asia Uncharted has english VA and english subs, no german at all

Interessting: Even though Katamari does not suppport english, the trophies are english, dunno why oO

It comes down to the devs what languages they put in, fundementally the hardware will support every major language, but it still down the devs to translate it to it.

Well, I've wondered about the same questions you've asked. I appreciate the effort you've put into finding out more. Fortunately, a lot of the language barriers can be overcome anyway when gameplay is solely taken into consideration.

As i say, its all down to the Devs and what languages they put in the games, LoA is japanese only as far as im aware, no english subs or anything, and to answer your question about english trophies, is that the trophies are dictated by the system language, so the system will show them in english if your using that as your main language.

I own a PS Vita and these games (Note: I own the Japanese versions not the Asia versions): Uncharted: Golden Abyss is the only game with 100% English (Menus, Subtitles, Voices etc...) Ultimate MVC3 has English in -game menus and that's it. Disgaea 3 is 100% Japanese. Lord Of Apocalypse is 100% Japanese.

Weird, Nisa told me the asia Version of Disgaea 3 will support english :/ To bad that LoA probably won't support english. I have my system set to german, it's rather weird to have english trophies and other notifications in chinese / japanese / whatever xD I guess a list would be nice, I'll create one as soon as J get my other games (a lot ^^)

Aint sure on that one then, many the trophy system hasnt been published in german yet so its defaulting to english being most countries second language, hard to tell.
