So wanted to ask If a 3DS XL bought in europe came to be used in US what problem are there if there are any. Can the games be played and is anything diferent , can it be used???
The games are region locked so you'll have to import or find work arounds to buy from the e-shop. You'll also need a step up transformer to use the original charger, though I believe you can just swap out for an after market one bought in the US and it won't make anything explode.
Correct, buy them on the eshop or import them from europe. I don't think that US eshop cards work on EUR 3DS consoles, but I'm not sure.
they indeed do not work as the E-shop uses currency not points
you can buy the E-shop cards digitally from places though
Just for the sake of informing OP, do US credit cards work on EUR 3DS consoles? I know on some (edit: non-3DS) consoles they do, and on some (edit: non-3DS) they don't.
Maybe you should leave it to the ones with experience.
1. A Japanese 3DS has no Region Settings, other than districts.
2. If you have a USA 3DS, you can set it on any North-American, South-American, some Middle-East, and some Asian countries. Only the USA, UAE, and Canada should have at least some Content.
3. If you have a EUR 3DS, you can set it on any European, Australian, Russian, Indian, and some African countries. Only West-Europe, Russia, South-Africa, Australia, and New-Zealand should have at least some Content. Additionally, UK has by far the most and earliest Content from all of them.
No, many countries have different Content.
Try setting it on Venezuela, for example, then you should have only the free Content, nothing else.
That's what my Venezuelian mate has told me, at least.
Only for this reason, he has his 3DS set on USA or Canada.
It often happens, that the UK gets something a whole week before it hits in the rest of Europe.
Australians profit of it sometimes, when Nintendo releases something in the European eShop the Australians have to wait for a longer time (and it's cheaper than in the Southern-Hemisphere too).
