What downsides are there to getting a Japanese n3DS? It would solely be for the Gateway, so not being able to play local games isn't an issue. What I'm worried about are patches for games, playing games locally and online with EUR consoles, etc.

you can still buy the N3DS to enjoy the already available 3DS games in much better 3D effect. as much as i love playing games in 3D i sometimes get headaches from it on the current 3DS & 3DS XL consoles (3DS XL more) this is why i'm seriously thinking about importing a pal N3DS (not XL as i found out i like them small better plus the N3DS is bigger at 4inch vs 3.5inch) but if i do i will still keep my old standard white 3DS.
Ah fair enough, I can't play with 3d on very well. I have a lack of depth perception which seems to prevent the effects from working well on me anyways.
Also being located in North America, I'd rather wait for the release here for a few reasons.
1. If gateway can't support emunand eventually it would seem that I'd be locked out of playing new releases.
2. I do purchase some games and don't want to have to import them.

not sure if this is asked somewhere but if i get a japanese n3ds does it have an english menu option,would hate to pay all the extra shipping and customs etc.. when i have relatives coming from japan soon since they are both out of region
No they would not have english. Only the AUS has english.
Maybe we should discuss emunand possibilities. It looks like they have kernel access. Region-free is beyond the capabilities of the Sky3DS which only emulates real cartridges. Either way though, aren't early adopters more likely to be around if a future kernel exploit is found? And someone else pointed out that they already demonstrated CIA support, so where are they being installed, onto the sysnand? doubtful.
Doubtful but not off the table. I mean, they didn't show it in the video. Does it mean it does have no emunand? No. Does it mean there is one? No. Your guess is as good as mine/ours at that point. Even if they have no emunand at the moment I doubt that it will take them extremly long to get one. I mean, when will the new big games come out which will require 9.x/10.x? It is at least 4-6 months away since there are no big upcoming releases in the next few months so there is plenty of time to get emunand working if they really don't have one.
But if they install .cia on the sysnand at the moment, I'll stay miles aways from .cia files. Installing .cia files on the sysnand especially if it comes from an unknown source and you didn't do them yourselves is just insane. It can so easily mess up your system and then you can't do anything about it. Well, let's see once it is released if it will have emunand or not.
just bought myself a Japanese N3DS xl. Lets hope it ships with 9.0 or something. Its arriving this saturday, so even if it still ships with 8.x or something I can update it to 9.2 and let it be a paperweight until Gateway Releases the new firmware. Hopefully 9.2 is still the newest FW in japan.
Off topic, but im looking to buy a R4i Gold from YeahGeek.com
I was wondering if the newest 9.2 update blocked it since it says its only compatible with 9.0

i just ordered the PAL N3DS the standard size & i also managed to sell the old XL.
i hope when i get it next week it will still be safe to update it.
Even though there's no need to
Man, I sure am jelly of that N3DS.

is that because it has interchangeable face plates & yours does not ?
My Acekards crapped out summer 2013 and I bough a r4 and have not updated it since. Still works fine on 9.2. At least the kids have not complained about it. I suppose there could be some games that don't work but they both have full 8GB mSDHC cards. Lost count of the number of games.

Oh stop it you
.It's because I want the upgraded 3D and better CPU + futureproof for Xenoblade Chronicles. I like the face plates but don't be a meanie!
the updates can be remade as .cia and online only is checked if you have the necessary update for that game and the header is corrrect
That is just what they said, one of my friend mount a game to sky3ds and put it to 3ds fw 1.0, and no thing happen, if that is a real cartridge, it's should ask to update fw right? and i dont know if sky3ds could run devmenu or not, any tries? My friend sold that sky3ds away so that i could check it myself but sky3ds could run cubicninja, then Sky 3ds support hombrew too.
