Possibly, because the console was announced before the 5.0 firmware (March 12, 2013 vs March 25, 2013) and the game needs 4.5J firmware.Does the 3DS LL Tomodachi Collection (the japanese model) come with 4.5 firmware if bought new?
I just purchased a 3DSXL Mario and Luigi Dreamteam bundle used from ebay. I was kind of sceptacle, but the screenshot showed 4.5U. Is it possible for this bundle to have a 4.X firmware?
Thank you. Which others japanese models have the 4.5 version for sure then? I know the Super Robot Taisen is one of them.
Released the Dec. 2, 2013, and the game need at least 5.1U firmware.
So, I think not... unless it is a shell swapped machine.
Check the releases dates and this topic.
For the Tomodachi Collection pack, the answer was here since the beginning.

Can confirm the following model can be found on 4.5 or lower:
- Serial: SUH1013XXXX X
- FW: 4.3.0-9E
- Copyright: 2010 - 2011
- Colour: Red & Black
- Model: 3DS XL
- Country: UK
- Location: eBay/Used
Ah yeah I saw that but mine is 1013 rather than 1031 and it's 4.3.0 rather than 4.4.0. Not that it makes a big difference I don't think
The Luigi 30th Anniversary Limited Edition ?Found another one, it's the Luigi bundle, the white 3DS XL with green patterns. Unfortunately, I cannot know the serial of this one. Anyone know if the European version of this bundle has compatible firmware?
Yes, it's the 30th anniversary one. From reading around, I think it had 6.xx firmware, but I wanted to be sure. Guess the pink SEH1156xx one is my best bet, but since the store has terrible return policies, I'm rather nervous about getting it.The Luigi 30th Anniversary Limited Edition ?
Please read what I wrote about the "Mario and Luigi Dreamteam" game few posts upper.

Thanks for the input. That's what I thought because I remember shopping around crazy for a bundle with lower firmware for my kids Christmas present. I guess I will double check with the seller. Either way, I'm keeping this for myself once I check all functions are working accordingly.
Just an update. I received the unit today. It definitely shows 4.5U. Unfortunately, it may have been re-shelled. I see all the the visible screws were loosened/tightened. I tried a retail copy of Paper Mario Sticker Stars and it doesn't detect the cartridge most of the time. It's the same thing with my R4I DS card. The cartridge requires a little more effort to get it in.
Going to contact the seller for a refund.
Argh!
