    Yeah. They'll work just fine.

    The only place you might have a problem is if you are playing the game over link up. My Japanese Mario Kart won't link up with an EU one for multiplayer. But there is a good chance a US one might fair better.

    There's only one region for Game Boy games, always has been. It's great. Hope the DS is similar.

    And a lot of them come out first in America. I imported my copy of Metroid Zero Mission when I found out there was a 2 month gap between the American and European releases. Am contemplating importing Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories and Astro Boy: Omega Factor now too.
