[Warriors JP Cartridge in English]

Region free just means that you can freely play a JP version of the game on any version of the console from any region.  There will still be different versions of the game for the different regions (mostly in terms of what languages are available).  Warriors came out in JP almost a month before it came out in the US.  That time was so they could translate it to English.

I know that, but I mean why not release English as an option on the JP version when it comes out in NA?

The game is available for both regions. Why would you ever need to import a Japanese copy when you have an available NA copy with English language.

[Warriors JP Cartridge in English]

The game has been out in Japan for a month and in NA for a week, and the only languages available on the JP cartridge is Japanese and Simplified and Traditional Chinese.  Why is English not an available option? Other games with international releases have all languages available and even automatically translate to the language of your native system. Why not Warriors? The game itself isn't even viewable on the eShop if you try to look at the software through the JP cartridge. While Nintendo may say that region-locking isn't a thing, in a way, they haven't changed at all. Does anyone have any insight or knowledge as to why this is or if this will be addressed any time soon?
