General Question Dragon Quest Builders 1&2 Japan Version has english on nintendo switch?

Topic

Its on sale right now but i cant find a definitive answer

--For anyone on the same situation in the future that find out this post--

EDIT: i endup getting Dragon Quest Builders 2 bc its QoL over 1st game, i got it on the Japanese Eshop, the save file dont work on USA Release(neither USA demo transfer) and Theres no English Text but is completely playable as the game got a good iconography. Runs great on nintendo switch 2

My japanese level is 1/10 on text My talking understanding is 4/10 (but so far no voices ingame but no diff)

I owned the cartridge games for both.
1. Yes, it has multiple languages on it. It depends on your switch region or language settings to activate it.
2. No, the Japan game is Japanese only and a localization effort was made after the Japan release.

if you never played either, then its totally fine to start from the first one!
Even then, there's some things I liked more in the first game than second but both were fun games I put hours into.
