I changed the region to europe but eshop didnt work so i changed it back. Do you know what to do to play online Mario Kart Normally? Is there any place for updated cias asap?

You should be able to find the update CIA files on some websites (probably not allowed to link here), but I think playing games online with wrong region games doesn't work either.

There is a wonderful place. Full of wonderful cias. Its normally referred to as Google. Search for the update file. Then install it with FBI.

Updates from eShop no longer work for the same reason that freeShop no longer functions. Nintendo's servers do a server-side check to ensure your ticket is valid, and installed CIAs no longer do.

I have a Japanese 3DS and here's what I've done:

1. Install LumaLocaleSwitcher

2. Download DLC or Update in *.cia format from the same region of your game if possible. If not, download a DLC or Update from a different region, if that's all you can find.

3. Install the DLC or Update using FBI.

4. Now, as you have a Japanese console and are running out of region games, to make it work properly, you need to change the region and language of the DLC or Update from "system default" using LumaLocaleSwitcher to the following configurations, depending on your case:
4.1. Game and DLC or Update are from the same region: you need to setup the region of the game and the region of the DLC or Update to match the original region of the *.cia files you have installed, in your case EUR.
4.2. Game and DLC or Update are from different regions: I'm not sure what I've done at the time, but just try changing the regions according to the region of the *.cia files and see if it works. Otherwise, try to match both with the game's region. One of these options will work.​

Alternatively, you can use LumaLocaleRegionAutoSetter. Read the instructions for more detailed information. :)

Thanks a lot I tried something different yesterday as I hadn't saw your answer. I just installed a CIA update from a site I found and then installed it from FBI . Now mario kart for example works fine but as you said I maybe need to use locals switcher in the future. Also I tried to update Pokémon super sun and moon and because their Japanese region I have done it successfully. I just pick English language inside of them and I'm fine

Glad to know you managed to find a way to do what you needed. Just shout if you need help with anything else. :)

- Do you have an Nintendo account setup in your console?
- Did you try to play online with different game? If yes, did it work?
