Will a US Nintendo 3DS XL play EU games

Anto318 · 2012-11-22 13:19:28

Hi all, I'm going to the US in a few weeks and I would like to pick up a Nintendo 3ds xl while I'm over there for a friend. I'm wondering when I bring the Nintendo back will games purchased in Ireland work? Thanks in advance.

Nope, the 3DS is region locked, he'd have to import games from America.
