Yea, there are hardware costs for the cartridge, but software development costs are always very, VERY steeper than the cost of the cartridge in most cases. In this case, other than the translation, the hardware cost was probably the game's ONLY cost, since they sure didn't spend much in marketing....

Again it wasnt already in the books, It was already there for the GBA but they had to re program it or what ever when porting to the DS. So it wasnt just hardware costs...and the translation wasnt a small thing since they had to pretty much rewrite all the jokes
Also the english translation was actualy included with the Japanese version of the DS game....I wonder if it will be the same for the 4th game
