For some, this will be the worst news ever. For others it'll come out to no more than a shoulder shrug. I'm somewhere there in the middle.
Those hoping to import Japanese games for their US Nintendo 3DS are out of luck. Those wanting to play imports will have to buy a foreign system as a 3DS from one territory will not play games from another. Hell, it won't even 'see' the games.
As you'll see in the above video, a North American copy of Super Monkey Ball 3D will not even register in my Japanese 3DS' menu.
The Amazon-exclusive version of Nintendo's handheld console has retailed for $149.99 almost consistently since being reduced during Prime Day in July.
Pokémon Gold and Silver came out on the Nintendo 3DS Virtual Console, and these two are just as good of games as they ever were.
Never played any of these versions, but if they're as good as everyone says, I will have to pick them up for 3DS.
This image basically confirms that in Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon we will be seeing an alternate story. While it has been stated by Nintendo multiple times that this was the case, they were never really clear on it.
Why in fucks name did the designs for the mc make it through the planing stages of development? They are by far the worse thing pokemon have produced.
Major step backwards IMO, Nintendos handhelds have always been known for their lack of region locks :/
I remember the time when my girlfriend's friend block me from getting any.
This feels very familiar!...
lame. Is there something I'm missing as to the purpose of region locking something like this?
NGP, please don't make this mistake!
It's not the worst news ever, but it makes the 3DS much less appealing to me. Much less.
