Guys,

I tried to buy pushmo online just now and as usual put cc details... suddenly got error message that the cc cannot be used (i use cimb btw). All is fine until got sms stated that nintendo digital already charged 10 bucks and worst yet, that money was not captured in the e-shop.

Read before that few people got the same problem, well, just saying that the problem still the same till today. Bad day for me indeed

what eshop you try to shop?

I use oregon u.s to buy. Wanna try brazil but too scared already. Haha.

hey guys , juz bought japan 3ds , soo many demos in eshop~ yeah!

I can vouch for you that the Asian one is similar to US, and does not allow the play of Japanese games.

Hi, I'm very interested to buy Nintendo 3DS.
However, I have a question. If I buy Japan set, can I play US games???
Or I can play only Japan games?

You can only play japanese games.

when are they gonna release an updated version of 3DS? 3DS dual stick? 3DS Lite? 3DS Slim? 3DS LL?

Hey guys if I get a JPN 3DS and reg a JPN account can I get stuffs from club nintendo?
