Be careful when ordering Switch games from Amazon. I purchased Pokemon Scarlet, listed as a US version, from Amazon themselves, but I ended up receiving an Italian version of the game.

Scarlotto sounds way more interesting somehow lol
Doesn’t matter unless you care about the box art. None of the switch games are region locked and will still have English as an option
You can easily return it and get a new one. Sux to wait tho.

I’ve had this happen a few times with amazon and as such I don’t order switch games from there unless I have no other choice. A purely cosmetic difference, sure, but as someone who buys physical games in part for the shelf presence, this would bother me.
Mama mia 🤌
It will play fine as others have said and you can switch it to english. Personally I would just keep it. I always like having a surprise oddity every now and then. Adds some personality to collections.
Recently had the same thing when ordering from Amazon. I bought Forbidden West for the PS5 and I ended up with the French version of the case. Not really an issue, but it’s a little annoying.
It’s a-me, Pokémon!
This is like the time we got my little cousin talking Star Wars figures for his Birthday I think in the late 1990’s. Of course the only ones we got were in French. They were bought in an Ontario store! Some bad shipping / packaging issue for the toys.
That’s kinda fire no cap
Region free console, every language on the cart.
Scarlet, but this time with more Wine during your Sandwich breaks.
I had this happen with Pokémon pearl, I went through 3 replacements before getting the correct one.
Switch games are not region l8cked though
Why does this have hundred of upvotes? Orders are sometimes messed up, this isn’t breaking news.
But now you know Italian. 😃👌
Be careful ordering from Amazon. I ordered Pokemon Scarlet and got Pokemon Scarlet.
This is a very common practice on Amazon for fulfillers to turn in whichever region is the cheapest, usually PAL or world versions. Won’t matter for gameplay as the Switch is region free and includes all languages on cart, but is an annoyance for a collector or people triggered by PAL releases putting titles names on the middle of the spine.
Dude that same shit has happened twice to me now, for both Pokémon Legends and Splatoon 3
I don’t fucking get it, it’s even shipped and sold by Amazon. Now we can’t even trust that
Nessuno può sfuggire al destino che è stato scelto per loro. Tutto ciò che rimane è la fine in cui tutti voi perite. L’eterna grandezza risiede solo in me stesso. Canta una canzone di dolore in un mondo in cui il tempo è svanito.
Your Boppity has evolved into Boopity!
At a GameStop in Italy I received a French one 🤔
The game inside is just the same tho
Are you sure you didn’t buy from literally the first one that comes up when you put in ‘Pokemon Scarlet’?

>Seller sent a Spanish version of the game when it is not stated anywhere that states that. I can’t really see this is a simple mistake since others seem to have had the exact same experience with this seller. Would not recommend.

I think we’d need some evidence here to 100% say that this isn’t just on you for not reading the seller information incorrectly or choosing to use a third party seller instead of Amazon themselves.
Hi, yes I’ll take a venti scarlatto, no whip cream and an extra shot of espresso. Thanks.
This happened to me with New Super Mario Bros a while back.
Of course Amazon accepted the return, but it was still a hassle to deal with and then I still had to get a replacement, which I bought from Target.
did you send it back for the right version?
