No, unless the game has a English option (very rare).

Does Play-Asia mark up that much? I bought a 1.50 PSP off them when most of the US stock had firmware over 2 already and I don't think it was that expensive.

At launch yeah. Price usually drops off significantly about a month later.

The initial import price for 3DS was $479, and USD is worth even less now. So I figure it'll be pretty close to $600.
