Is this a US 3DS? I bought US 3DS games, but can't play them on my Australian 3DS because the DS is region locked, so i'm looking for a US 3DS.

I couldn't say yes or no for sure. You'll want to contact the seller to double-check the region code on the console. I used a different seller & mine (in purple) plays all my US DS/3DS games just fine so far.

This is why people need to learn how simple research works. "Regular DS" games haven't been made for almost two years now; Nintendo's currently supported handheld is a 3DS. Can you guess what this game is made for now? Don't let the name of the system it's for, on the side of its box, give the obvious answer away either....

No, only on the PS3, the PS3 isn't region locked so it'll play on an American PS3.

3DS is region locked. So a Japan can only play Japan and USA can only play USA and so forth. If you had gone with Sony Vita you would not have to go through this problem, its region free.

As stated before PS4 games aren't region locked by default. Game makers still reserve the right to region lock their games (but most will not. Only one did on record for PS3). The DLC IS region locked though.

For 3ds games no. This is for Japanese 3ds games also when I got this it didn't come with a charger (which was fine since I had my American one)

Nintendo, like many other purveyors of electronic media, enforce a region lock on many of their systems and games. Unfortunately, the 3ds line is region locked and the United States and Europe are in two different regions.

No, it's a 3DS not a NDS and only the latter one can play Pokemon yellow :(

To my knowledge, Sony does not region-lock games. I bought this from Canada and live in the States. Here is Wikipedia's answer: "All PlayStation 3 games except for one are region free.[4][5] Even though publishers could choose to region-lock specific games based on a mechanism that allows for the game to query the model of the PS3, none did so during the first six years after the launch of PS3.[6] The first game to be region-locked on PS3 is Persona 4 Arena..."So you should be fine. Enjoy!

It works in my european DS Lite. The DS games don't have region lock. It should work in your european 3DS.

The game I bought didn't work in my console (2DS). I bought that one in Spain, I think it shouldn't be an American Console

Is that true? Well to be honest, I haven't opened the case yet because I'm on Black Flag still. I have a US ps3, and I'll be sure to check in a day or so when I get back to it and let you know. But it should be fine. Games are not region locked, but I hear DLCs are. Also I hear that all you would need to ensure a games compatibility is an HDMI cable, but I don't really know the logic in that to confirm it. Anyhow, I'll check in a day or two and comeback to let you know.

I would say it's US locked. I live in the US and it works fine on my system.

All 3ds systems are assembled in China. You can buy a new one from a U.S. store, but it will still come from China.

Yeah, ds/dsi games can be played on the 3ds, but they won't be able to be played using the 3D feature, only in 2D, only 3DS games will be able to play using the 3D feature. Hope this helps

Hi there Torey W! Unfortuneately, the 3DS series is completely regionlocked (3DS/i/XL/[2DS]). There are, I believe, three regions - Europe-Australia / Canada-America / Asia. If you buy a 3DS in America, it can only play games from America. If you are interested in buying a Japanese version of the 3DSXL, you'll need to look into buying a 3DSLL, which is the name of the system in Japan. It'll be expensive, but there are so, SO many more colors and combinations that you can buy. That said, it is still possible to interact with people who have different region-locks. Even though my 3DS is American, I can still interact with Japanese and European 3DS' in all ways.I hope this helps!! Hi there Torey W!
