Customs generally only care about large shipments. Say from a factory to a reseller. Anyone who just is working an airport terminal either won't know what it is or won't care.

But before deporting you, they will tentacle rape you while the customs officer shows you how he updates the 3DS to FW9.7 without you being able to do anything about it.
Of course they will smash it afterwards, but you don't know it at that moment.

Um...why is this a thread?

Its like asking...uh Im going to Europe guys...should I bring my L'oreal shampoo with me or will they taser me for having it?

Gateway is considered contraband in Japan, not that anybody cares anyway.
(the same as R4 in the link)

... said:
The sale of these devices is already punishable by law. This spring, a retailer in Saitama, Japan was arrested for selling R4 cartridges—the first arrest of its kind in the country.
... said:
importing such devices is now strictly prohibited by law (...) Nintendo, it seems, lead the cry for the importation of these devices be banned in Japan.

You shouldn't be giving him reasons to do it.

Are you worried about the Nintendo Zones forcibly updating your vulnerable system menu? Just flick wi-fi off and BAM. Can't remember the last time I used streetpass, maybe once back in 2011 when I got my launch day ambassador small O3DS......

I'm laughing so hard holy crap :rofl:

Real talk though I've been to Japan and took my Gateway and 3DS XL and I can GUARANTEE you won't have your head ripped off. It's so worth it btw, this one time I got over a hundred Streetpass tags in one day, compared to the bleak 1-tag-if-I'm-lucky situation here
