It isn't like nintendo gets money from second hand games anyhow. Switch games it is more complicated since they're still being sold. I'd just dump my carts for convenience on switch. That isn't pirating.

[@Cosmic_Espeon]

Japanese gamers really know how to take care of their things. I don’t mind paying a lot for the stuff they sell because it’s always immaculate even the “good condition” things. American sellers will throw their 3DS in their uncle’s pick up truck, let it collect dust and grime and sell it to you for 300 bucks with a busted screen because they think that’s valuable. Oh and no low ball offers because they “know the value of their stuff”

[@zaqueroberts1975]

FYI if you have 2 systems from the same region, you can transfer the nnid from one to the other. Then you can use cfw to swap regions on the empty one. This will allow you to have the menus in English while retaining eshop access in the region of your choice. I used this method to give my sister the region swapped one, keeping the second one for myself.

[@car3448]

Do they have to be the same type of 3ds or can they be any? For example lets says I have a JP 3ds but I have two NA New 3ds xl. Can the region change be done?

[@zaqueroberts1975]

@Car iirc, they don't have to be the same type. You would need 2 JP 3ds to make 1 NA 3ds that can access the eshop. Or you could use this method to change one of your NA 3ds to any other region. If you don't care about the eshop, you can skip the transfer and go straight for the region swap, but I think you would need to search for games/updates manually or dump them from another 3ds.

I really wish the Japanese sellers were aware of this and would do it. It's annoying to have to buy multiple to do this.

[@valegory]

I got a Japanese New 3DS LL for $80 when I was studying in Tokyo last year. One thing to note is that even if you run CFW to play North American games on it, some games will still serve certain region-specific content based on your system region. For example, my physical North American copy of Animal Crossing New Leaf gets Japan-specific events when I play on my Japanese 3DS, leading some event dialog to being in Japanese, despite it being an American copy. This type of behavior is pretty rare, but just be aware that occasionally things like that happen. There's probably some way to fix it, but I know enough Japanese to get by and it's fun to get both North American and Japanese events on the same save. I just thought it was worth pointing out.

[@sitmisfit4841]

You gotta mod your system and change the NAND to USA

[@kbhasi]

Oh my. That's interesting. I'm guessing you didn't do a CTRTransfer? I'm reminded of how region-locked Nintendo systems sold in Singapore were U region instead of E region, resulting in a long story for me but I basically wanted to import E region consoles so I could play the NOE English (UK English) localisations that I prefer instead of the NOA English (US English) localisations. However, now that the Nintendo Network is mostly dead at this point, I could probably get away with buying a locally purchased U region console and modding it to convert it into an E region console. However, I'd still need to be careful with the physical copies of games I'd buy in order to get UK and Australian copies instead of US copies, but I can identify if the model code on the game card contains 'EUR' or 'AUS' instead of 'USA'. Alternatively, I could go… somewhere… that I won't talk about here.

[@raider4341]

I actually wanna see what the Japanese events in the US version looks like lmao but tbh if it’s not game breaking or anything it’s not a problem

[@valegory]

@@raider4341 It's really funny because the dialog for the events is only written in the languages the region it's made for speaks, so in the case of Japanese events a character will be speaking English in one dialog box and then in the next will be speaking Japanese. It's also worth noting that all the game's textures are the Japanese versions as well, so store signs will be in Japanese, for example. It's not gamebreaking in ACNL, so I just leave it the way it is since it's kinda fun to the see the Japanese events. Plus, it's good practice whenever it comes up. In the case of a few other games though running the North American version on a Japanese 3DS can be gamebreaking (usually the game will just crash at launch) so I've learned I just have to use the luma locale changing app and it runs perfectly normally.

For my 3ds I was going to do it but there's more nostalgia with having physical games and collecting them can be expensive. It's going to be a very sad day when the eshop closes down so saving money would be a better option in modding the 3ds for most people

I wondered why N3DS LLs were so common. I had a very hard time finding US N3DSses in comparison to the LL. I've already gotten an XL off of a friend, but if I ever get a new one, I might go for an LL.

[@kbhasi]

If I recall correctly based on a KZbin video I watched back in the day, New 3DS had a late launch in countries covered by the 'U' system region (North America, Middle East, and Southeast Asia) because some… people… at Nintendo of America thought that it would be too small for the hands of gamers based in the US and Canada. However, the New 3DS XL did launch in that system region. This was a problem for me in Singapore because the Nintendo systems sold to us here were U region rather than E region, and I wanted the smaller N3DS for its replaceable cover plates. I also wanted an E region 3DS and Wii U so I could play the NOE English (UK English) localisations instead of the NOA English (US English) localisations, but at the time I couldn't afford to get them imported. The region lock shock was also a problem for me when trying to play Wii Fit on a console my school had in their special needs resource centre as it asked for measurements in Imperial units instead of Metric that we use here, while my family members I'd visit in Australia had theirs display Metric because they could get E region consoles.

[@thebigzoop1645]

Late to the party, but I was skeptical about this New 3DS LL i saw on ebay for $79, seller was very fast and responsive even with a somewhat obvious language difference. Shipped in about 2 days and was at my home in the US another 3 or so days later. It was listed as very much functional but cosmetically flawed, about a 2 inch chip in the paint, which is even less noticeable in the real world than in the listing. Homebrew and region swap took about 90 minutes total and i have an amazing console for 80 bucks. Would recommend!

Holding it in hand I'm even more impressed, the only issues is minor scratches on the glossy front/back but thats IT. Super stoked. Came with box, manual, and a seemingly new charger. Pain to get it home brewed (took 2-3 hours) but well worth it.

[@yabbabuuyabbabuu]

Unfortunately I bought "new, unopened" N3DS XL Limited edition Pikachu from online seller and obviously TN screens, chewn on stylus, screen protector on top screen and seller just saying he regrets he did not check when he bought it from someone. Seller had like 98,9% positive ratings and plenty of items sold. I would have though it was one time slip if not another japanese seller that sold me "new, never opened" PS Vita that had a lot of fine scratches on the back (visible if you tilted console in the sunlight). Obviosuly prices for "new" are 30% higher and you get at best mint item. Maybe its not true for all but then another seller from Japan was supposed to send me TPU shell and he sent me PC one. I had taken pictures etc and got it returned (seller tried to make me pay for return!) and delivered correct one in the end. I just think there is plenty of not sincere people on Ebay that try to sell things hoping buyer wont notice...

[@artyboy1377]

Do note that Japanese (or Asian region) 3DSes are prone to yellowing screens, particularly on the corners and edges of the screen. Likely due to higher humidity levels in tropical climates. In fact in the video above where there are two 3DSes side by side, you can clearly see the yellowed corners on the screens. North America/Europe models are also susceptible but much milder. It's probably hardware 'ageing' but some say its just the adhesive used in the LCD panels. Thankfully it is not an issue while playing a game unless the game has a predominantly white background. I use one of my 3DS-XL which has the worst yellowish tinge to play darker themed games like Luigi's Mansion and Metroid Samus Returns, or games that do not have white menu screens. Just have to improvise instead of crying over spilt milk.

Do all 3DS LL systems have IPS displays, compared to American 3DS XL only having TN displays? Or did they replace the screen themselves?

[@DeadAugur]

It’s about 10% of N3DS XL’s to have an IPS screen, Japanese or not. Certain models like the yellow Pikachu edition have a 0% chance due to when they were manufactured, while later manufactured ones like the Hyrule edition are far more likely to have at least one IPS screen

[@shawndasilva]

It seems to be the same ratio as other regions. The bottom IPS screen seems to be the most rare. For example: I currently have a few N3DS LL in my apartment right now, here is the break down.

[@turismofoegaming8806]

I just got one of the Japanese (converted to English) LL Model 3DS’s off of Mercari & it is In Excellent Condition as well! I paid more than what most would probably consider, however it is in near mint condition with no scratches on the screens and no signs of wear on the inside of the device at all- it is also modded and has hundreds of the best games on it from all errors of game boy up to the 3DS!! It is freaking nice!!

Thank the LORD I bought mine in 2019.

I have an old 3DS but I really wanted the XL

[@hunt7533]

So uh, I was curious with my Metallic Red New 3DS XL and it actually haves dual IPS Screen, I'm pretty lucky for sure.

[@TANKTREAD]

Yup, makes me laugh. Everyone jizzed in their pants when the Switch came out(which is fine, new system, new excitement), the only thing is that the Switch DID NOT replace the 3DS(both could've totally co-existed). So everyone got rid of their 3DS consoles to become Switch bound, NOW everyone is craving a 3DS game console. Long live the 3DS!

Can you play r4 card games on Japanese 3ds in English?

[@shelly8563]

Why don’t you mention that you can change the 3ds NAND to USA super easily

if only he knew how bad it really gets

[@a124bry]

who was your seller?

[@domikronos]

I paid 160 Dollars for a 2DS XL and it looks like new! Maybe just luck. 😬👌🏼

Great find, I got a small n3ds almost mint for 150

[@zhiruozhang4906]

@@gustavovm491 did you get it from ebay?

[@gustavovm491]

@@zhiruozhang4906 Yes, last time I checked the seller listed a few N3LLs and N2LLs

How much were the import fees and taxes

[@ohcamryn]

Usually if The product is below $800 it’s sent like any other piece of mail but if you happen to buy something over $800 and you’re trying to get your item to the US you have to pay custom fees I had the same question but I literally just bought a 3DS and I had to pay no custom fees whatsoever

[@fred6o]

A 3ds should be max 60 3ds xl should be max 80 And any new 3ds should be less tgan 100 Over that price you got ripped

[@ghostdragonow6997]

i got a 3ds ll imported and after seeing this checked the screens and both are ips, despite not saying that on the listing, wasn't something i was looking for in particular, got lucky i guess!

[@brookem-r3l]

i have an american sim card already. would the sim card fit the problem or would it still say stuff in japanese?

[@marcu545]

What’s a good site to purchase Japanese products like this directly?

[@andysierra6934]

I found a new 3ds xl locally for $40 the only problem was it had a sticking analog stick.
