Unfortunately, Nintendo of Europe didn't alter the game, and it retained its Japanese text.

Nintendo recently released Picross DS in America and Europe, and in Europe this game was released on the Virtual Console on the game's 12th anniversary (September 14, 2007). Even with the Mario branding the games would barely budge in stores, though they remained moderately successful in Japan. Nintendo of America and Nintendo of Europe both decided not to release the game when it was initially released in Japan due to the Picross games being labeled a failure in those territories. The game is one of the few games that can be controlled with the SNES Mouse. Mario's Super Picross (マリオのスーパーピクロス) is a Super Famicom video game by Jupiter, Ape, and Nintendo that was released late 1995 exclusively in Japan, though in 2007 gamers in European would get a treat when it was released on the Virtual Console (note: it was also released on the Japanese Virtual Console a year prior in 2006 during the launch window of the Wii and Virtual Console).
