The Japanese version of Metroid Fusion had some changes done compared to the North American and European releases of the game. The two most notable changes were the inclusion of a Hard difficulty mode and the extra ending images. These IPS patches will force the Japanese version of the game to display text in the language of the IPS patch chosen.
When choosing the option "オトナむき（漢字あり)" the difficulties will be displayed in English.
When choosing the option "コドモむき（ひらがな)" the difficulties with be in the same order, but instead listed in Hiragana.
