  Would you buy a Japanese 3DS, or would you still prefer a North American model?🤔 <br> <br>Personally, I’ll take whichever one gives me the better deal, but I’ve had consistently better luck with Japanese 3DS systems. <br>What about you? 👇

  My brother is stationed over there and has lived there for almost 15 years, and the people in Japan are starting to wise up. I was looking last night trying to find a new 3ds LL and they are $200 or more now. Climbing higher all of the time. Even Vitas are starting to increase in price

  One thing not mentioned, pokemon bank will NOT work on a modded Japan (region changed to North American) 3DS. I found that out the hard way trying to move pokemon to pokemon home.

  It is region locked so I&apos;d only do this if you&apos;re for sure going to mod

  I&apos;ve heard you lose some features if you change your console&apos;s region/language, it could be a dealbreaker for some people but it genuinely does not bother me because I do know japanese, but even if you don&apos;t I think if you don&apos;t mind the UI it&apos;s the cleaner option it&apos;s very simple to navigate and the guide even says it&apos;s &quot;almost completely unnecessary since Luma3DS supports out-of-region games and individual title Locale Emulation&quot;

  I bought a pearl white new 3ds ll for $330. I paid extra for it to have dual IPS screens. It came modded and with a 128 gb micro sd, which I swapped out because it was an Onn (Walmart brand). If I paid a premium, it was worth it for me for it to be pre-modded and with dual ips

  but you gotta be careful about more yellowing in Japanese one. &nbsp;although ebay seller posts good amount of picture not all seller takes good description picture of it. &nbsp;It is known that Japanese 3DS has more yellowing than US made one.. we don&apos;t know why.
