PICROSS DS Game Card into the Game Card slot. Make sure that you push it all the way in
until it clicks.

Screen on the right will be displayed. After you have read the
message, touch the Touch Screen to proceed.

The in-game language depends on the one that is set on the console. In this game you
can choose between three different languages: English, French, and Spanish. If your

in the game. If your Nintendo DS system is set to another language, the in-game default
language will be English. You can change the in-game language by changing the language
setting of your console. For further instructions on how to change language settings,
please refer to the instruction booklet of your Nintendo DS system.
