Topic: How easy is it to maintain a North American 3DS in Europe?

I'm currently on a 3 month vacation in America, and I'm tempted to buy a 3DS while I'm here as prices are considerably cheaper here than in Europe.

From what I've read, 3DS' are region locked, so I was wondering how easy it is to buy games and maintain a North American 3DS whilst I'm in Europe

If this sounds stupid I apologise but I'm completely unsure how hard it'll be

Well, Amazon and online shops should be able to ship US games and accessories to you in Europe.

I assume some import shops exist too...

As for the eShop, apparently it'll connect to the US one, so you should be fine there. It connects to the one the 3DS region is set as.

Becareful about the eshop tho, some people have been banned from using the Jpn territory in the Pal region before and it applies to all regions using different ones but they are always minority cases.

The price difference will probably soon evaporate due to added postage costs. I wouldn't bother!

It's dangerous to go alone! Stay at home.

I have a question for those who imported a Japanese system. Will any charger do or does it have to be the one for the Japanese system. I was thinking of importing the Disney Magical World 2 Japanese New 3DS system.

just buy all the good games while you're in the USA, if you miss a couple the internet has your back

everyone needs to relax and enjoy the games that are released today and stop worrying what Nintendo will do in a year or two from now.
