    It isn't like nintendo gets money from second hand games anyhow. Switch games it is more complicated since they're still being sold. I'd just dump my carts for convenience on switch. That isn't pirating.

    Japanese gamers really know how to take care of their things. I don’t mind paying a lot for the stuff they sell because it’s always immaculate even the “good condition” things. American sellers will throw their 3DS in their uncle’s pick up truck, let it collect dust and grime and sell it to you for 300 bucks with a busted screen because they think that’s valuable. Oh and no low ball offers because they “know the value of their stuff”

    FYI if you have 2 systems from the same region, you can transfer the nnid from one to the other. Then you can use cfw to swap regions on the empty one. This will allow you to have the menus in English while retaining eshop access in the region of your choice. I used this method to give my sister the region swapped one, keeping the second one for myself.

    @Car iirc, they don't have to be the same type. You would need 2 JP 3ds to make 1 NA 3ds that can access the eshop. Or you could use this method to change one of your NA 3ds to any other region. If you don't care about the eshop, you can skip the transfer and go straight for the region swap, but I think you would need to search for games/updates manually or dump them from another 3ds.

    I got a Japanese New 3DS LL for $80 when I was studying in Tokyo last year. One thing to note is that even if you run CFW to play North American games on it, some games will still serve certain region-specific content based on your system region. For example, my physical North American copy of Animal Crossing New Leaf gets Japan-specific events when I play on my Japanese 3DS, leading some event dialog to being in Japanese, despite it being an American copy. This type of behavior is pretty rare, but just be aware that occasionally things like that happen. There's probably some way to fix it, but I know enough Japanese to get by and it's fun to get both North American and Japanese events on the same save. I just thought it was worth pointing out.

    Oh my. That's interesting. I'm guessing you didn't do a CTRTransfer? I'm reminded of how region-locked Nintendo systems sold in Singapore were U region instead of E region, resulting in a long story for me but I basically wanted to import E region consoles so I could play the NOE English (UK English) localisations that I prefer instead of the NOA English (US English) localisations. However, now that the Nintendo Network is mostly dead at this point, I could probably get away with buying a locally purchased U region console and modding it to convert it into an E region console. However, I'd still need to be careful with the physical copies of games I'd buy in order to get UK and Australian copies instead of US copies, but I can identify if the model code on the game card contains 'EUR' or 'AUS' instead of 'USA'. Alternatively, I could go… somewhere… that I won't talk about here.

    @@raider4341 It's really funny because the dialog for the events is only written in the languages the region it's made for speaks, so in the case of Japanese events a character will be speaking English in one dialog box and then in the next will be speaking Japanese. It's also worth noting that all the game's textures are the Japanese versions as well, so store signs will be in Japanese, for example. It's not gamebreaking in ACNL, so I just leave it the way it is since it's kinda fun to the see the Japanese events. Plus, it's good practice whenever it comes up. In the case of a few other games though running the North American version on a Japanese 3DS can be gamebreaking (usually the game will just crash at launch) so I've learned I just have to use the luma locale changing app and it runs perfectly normally.

    I love how your explaining the difference between ips and TNS. Not a lot of people know what exactly it is and how to find out if it is or not. I have a rare dual ips new 3ds cl fire embelm one and playing games is phenomenal ^-^ I have a modded ps vita and I rarely play it even though I can get any game I want for the vita or psp. For my 3ds I was going to do it but there's more nostalgia with having physical games and collecting them can be expensive. It's going to be a very sad day when the eshop closes down so saving money would be a better option in modding the 3ds for most people

    That's how I got mine just over a year ago, basically chose the first listing, I wasn't even aware of the screen differences. The console arrived in perfect condition, screen protectors attached on both IPS screens. Only recently the paint started chipping off, but nothing major. The seller left his data there with Pokémon, Xenoblade, and Monster Hunter, and some photos. Though I guess I got lucky as my original (not XL) New 3DS also has dual IPS, but is in terrible condition now.

I put american firmware on it and its been great. unfortunately I was trying to replace the top screen protector and my pry tool slipped and made a big gash in the screen. I was pretty upset, but switched over my decent bottom IPS to my XL with a top ips. A lot of work from what should have been a quick swap.

    Unfortunately I bought "new, unopened" N3DS XL Limited edition Pikachu from online seller and obviously TN screens, chewn on stylus, screen protector on top screen and seller just saying he regrets he did not check when he bought it from someone. Seller had like 98,9% positive ratings and plenty of items sold. I would have though it was one time slip if not another japanese seller that sold me "new, never opened" PS Vita that had a lot of fine scratches on the back (visible if you tilted console in the sunlight). Obviosuly prices for "new" are 30% higher and you get at best mint item. Maybe its not true for all but then another seller from Japan was supposed to send me TPU shell and he sent me PC one. I had taken pictures etc and got it returned (seller tried to make me pay for return!) and delivered correct one in the end. I just think there is plenty of not sincere people on Ebay that try to sell things hoping buyer wont notice...

    If I recall correctly based on a KZread video I watched back in the day, New 3DS had a late launch in countries covered by the 'U' system region (North America, Middle East, and Southeast Asia) because some… people… at Nintendo of America thought that it would be too small for the hands of gamers based in the US and Canada. However, the New 3DS XL did launch in that system region. This was a problem for me in Singapore because the Nintendo systems sold to us here were U region rather than E region, and I wanted the smaller N3DS for its replaceable cover plates. I also wanted an E region 3DS and Wii U so I could play the NOE English (UK English) localisations instead of the NOA English (US English) localisations, but at the time I couldn't afford to get them imported. The region lock shock was also a problem for me when trying to play Wii Fit on a console my school had in their special needs resource centre as it asked for measurements in Imperial units instead of Metric that we use here, while my family members I'd visit in Australia had theirs display Metric because they could get E region consoles.

    The Japanese rating system seem on Ebay a little odd... I just got a PS Vita, in "Excellent" condition (as you pointed out, that's lower middle of the range). My PS Vita was in perfect condition (no scratches, battery seems good as new, screen looks great, buttons and sticks are great). The only thing that wasn't perfect was the box (it was still pretty good, and I don't really care about the box). SO, I'm wondering if the ratings are for the overall package, not just the console itself.... I'm headed to Japan next week and plan to pickup a 3DS, so this is very helpful. Thanks!

    Late to the party, but I was skeptical about this New 3DS LL i saw on ebay for $79, seller was very fast and responsive even with a somewhat obvious language difference. Shipped in about 2 days and was at my home in the US another 3 or so days later. It was listed as very much functional but cosmetically flawed, about a 2 inch chip in the paint, which is even less noticeable in the real world than in the listing. Homebrew and region swap took about 90 minutes total and i have an amazing console for 80 bucks. Would recommend!

    Fortunately for me i already can read Japanese. So i got an evee edition 3ds from Japan. Tbh the special edition was a bit pricey but it was worth it. You can get a Japanese 3ds pretty cheap and mod it just like you could any 3ds. Moding it will make it region free at least so you could play any 3ds game on it. With no problem. It wont teansform the games language to Japanese. So the game will stay in English. It just will be the home menu will be in Japanese.

    Do note that Japanese (or Asian region) 3DSes are prone to yellowing screens, particularly on the corners and edges of the screen. Likely due to higher humidity levels in tropical climates. In fact in the video above where there are two 3DSes side by side, you can clearly see the yellowed corners on the screens. North America/Europe models are also susceptible but much milder. It's probably hardware 'ageing' but some say its just the adhesive used in the LCD panels. Thankfully it is not an issue while playing a game unless the game has a predominantly white background. I use one of my 3DS-XL which has the worst yellowish tinge to play darker themed games like Luigi's Mansion and Metroid Samus Returns, or games that do not have white menu screens. Just have to improvise instead of crying over spilt milk.

    You know at the end of the day those average prices that we are seeing in your video is actually really reasonable because think of the many games that you can have on your system have the knowledge once you get it because it covers the cost or it's actually less than the amount of games you would have actually realistically bought if you had another chance at getting the system while he was new so I think everyone should be grateful that there is at least a system of bailable there for less than 500 let's say you know when he gets to 1000 and you know something's up but you know 300 alright 200 great 150 wow good
