Gaming E-shop Question

[BoxmanWTF]

Okay, I live in the middle east and will until next summer, when I move back to canada. So it makes sense that I buy a 3DS in canada when I'm on vacation so I can buy games there.
But with this whole ambassador thing and the 20 free games, I'm worried I won't be able to download the games as I will be in the middle east on the 11th.
I'm wondering if there is anyway to access the e-shop in Saudi Arabia, so I can hopefully get those games.
Thank you.

I think there is but even if there is not, you can just set your region to America and get your free games

Well I live in the Middle East and i bought my 3DS when it when launched 30th March . Although the one i bought said on it

Official product of Saudi Arabia & U.A.E its just basically means that it has Saudi Arabia & U.A.E in the country regions settings .

I already tested it out the e-shop its not available there yet so i just set the region settings to America and download the free games

.

But you could just buy the e-shop cards and set it to America there are 2 shops I know that sell them but there sold out and I didn't get any

.

I know I'm getting out of the point here but the US games work on it . I currently have 7 3DS games

6 of them are US and 1 of them is Middle East but it still works with US ones . I hope this helped .

Thank God! I just tested it and it works. Thank you both, I was kinda freaking out cuz I was in the airport in amsterdam and couldn't access it there, so figured it would be the same here.
