Where did you purchase yours from? store or online? Thanks. No good anyway 9.4! sorry.

Anyone know where to purchase one below 9.4 in a shop in the uk?


I got it from Tesco Direct collect in-store, ordered Friday, got it today and returned it after shopping after confirming firmware.

Other than requesting a serial # and hoping that unit is actually shipped, how can I get a 9.2 new3DS (non-XL/LL)?

Is it better or easier to get a UK/EU/AU new3DS (non-XL/LL) or a JP new3DS (non-XL/LL) with 9.2?

It's best to go into an actual store and ask to look for a serial in the known good range.

Thank you for replying, however please look at my post and profile. Unfortunately for me, your reply isn't helpful.


If the kind you want is not available in your region, another option is to contact individual sellers (e.g. amazon/ebay) and ask for the serial of a new console.

Thank you for both your useless replies.
From my perspective, your contribution to this thread is what's useless. This thread exists to help you solve your own problem, and instead you want someone to hold your hand and tell you there exists magic goggles that let you identify 9.0-9.2 units with 100% certainty, while not even being in the same country with them, no less.

There aren't any, and the answer to your question is "There is no other method." You will have to do the same thing regardless of which region you choose, and you run the risk of getting 9.4+ in either scenario.

i just went and bought all the new3ds xl's from walmart looking for a 9.2 or lower.
BLACK serial number QW40211XXXX are all 9.4 i thought they were safe because
QW4021 (Black) is in the confirmed 9.0 section
RED Serial numbers QW10315XXXX QW10183XXXX QW10311XXXX are all on 9.0
