VG+ can games

Does dual-language mean b&w?

The thing that bothers me about the dual-language Canadian games (and the same goes for multi-language European games, say on GBA), is that the manuals are so often in black & white. It always leaves me wondering if the proper US version has an all-colour manual. It might not matter that much for some genres, but as I mainly play Japanese RPGs the books are usually packed with nice character art.

Has anyone ever done a comparison of games from these two neighbour regions and found whether my fear is true or false? I don't have any doubles in that way, but I just find that where I've bought the true US version its almost always got full colour manuals.

A little OT but does anyone knoe how VG+ ship there items? Do they ship the pre order as the items come in or wait for the whole lot to come in before shipping? As i ordered a DS ages back with 4 games but it looks like 3 of them aren`t out till next year now. So i don`t want the other items holding up my DS being shipped.

They ship each item when it comes into stock.

Ordered three games for my Cube oof of them and am still waiting for two games to be shipped.They show up as 'partial' on the order process.

Dont know off-hand if they charge you shipping for each item but they probably do!

Tell me what games you have that have black and white manuals and I'll compare with the US versions (provided I have them).

Never had a b&w manual in a Canadian release either.

Thankyou for challenging me, you've restored my faith in Canadian releases! After 3 years of dreading receiving a black and white manual but ordering Canadian anyway for the savings, I've now realised that my impression was completely wrong! I've just been through my collection and found that the only ones that are black and white only are English only! All the dual-language ones are colour.

I just got Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door in the post from Canada today. Dual-language manual, beautiful vibrant colours throughout :-)
