If you buy off Amazon then you still get your standard warranty, etc whether it's bought here, France or Germany. The instructions for the game come in the language of the country it's bought in, but this can be downloaded in English off the Nintendo website and I think the board instructions come with English as one of the languages anyway. The game picks up the language that your console is set to, so if English then will play in English as it has 5 other pre-set languages...Mine's due any day now!!
