We're well aware 3DS games are region locked. So it intrigued me that on my US system, Sega 3D Fukkoku Archives 3 Final Stage (for instance) is identified in English as 'Sega 3D Classics Collection 2'. Is this normal, or visible anywhere without hacking? A Japanese 3DS has no OS language setting.
The name itself is semi-official, being used for the game's Miiverse community. |

You'll find that the alternate language title data is used for Streetpass.
It's how I discovered the "Beyond the Legends" title in the first place because my US Region 3DS streetpassed my Jpn Region 3DS. |

Even if they are technically used in some circumstances - these should still be noted if they appear to use an early name (or are interesting for other reasons).

This is correct. I've tried it with a US DSi-only cart and it failed to recognise it. Worked fine with CFW.
