Hello! Here's the thing. I stopped being a gamer for some time and lost track of what was going on. Now I have some money i'd like to spend but i'm too lazy to read through tons of articels to make a decision. I hope you can help me since you most likely are up to date ! I want to buy a Nintendo to play Pokemon and Monster Hunter. Maybe some Zelda and Golden Sun. Here are my questions: - If i import MH4 from Japan and play it on my console, can i download the add ons they release for the game? Meaning can i acces the japanese online shop and play online quests with people? - Which Nintendo handheldconsole is best suited in my case? I don't need all the stuff like a lousy camera and microphone but i do want to be able to play online. - i don't really care about the homebrew and free game thing, so that's not something important, but would be interesting since i just like to fumble with electronics (sorry for the bad english) Thanks in advance! Babatz
the 3DS is Region Locked you would have to purchase a Japanese 3ds in order to play 3ds titles from Japan
Ohh heeeell no So basically if i buy a Console in Europe, i can only play games i purchase here too? Not even american ones? That's messed up :/ Thank you for the reply.
For 3ds games, yes, but for ds games. you can use the flashcart to play any games you want, no region locked.
