Both ASI and US region are the same thing, em both region games can be played on both either ASI and US console
though if you get a ASI 3DS, you would get a one year warranty by Maxsoft (SEA official Nintendo distributor)
But for the US 3DS... probably retailers warranty

What about online play... is cross country allowed? let say i play my 3ds xl in australia, us or uk server can i access the local server?

Yes

Any recommended titles for 3DS besides MH series and others?

County Cult seems like a possible FPS game to buy. I hope there's more.

Considering MH3: Ultimate and etc.

Hey guys, I'm about to purchase 3DS XL pokemon Y (US)

Wondering what is the differences between the US and ASIA set?
Cant play some region games? the nintendo points thing? Do explain please!

thanks

What type of games do you like to play. What genre?
Aku could recommend quite a few and about MH3U.. you might wait a little longer maybe? For MH4

Please refer to the third post of this thread that has been written by our own Nitendo expert Kyo.

Kyo, FAQ tukar Post 3 dah sekarang.

oh thanks! so US set can play both US and Malaysia distributed games huh?

MH4... Sure!!!

I like games that look a bit like Call of Duty or Final Fantasy series. Waiting for Cult County and many others...

FPS games on 3DS.... not many la bro because... no 2nd analog stick.

Final Fantasy style there is quite a lot if like Final Fantasy tactics there is Fire Emblem, Project X Zone...
If Final Fantasy style the core one would be like Shin Megami Tensei IV, Etrian Odyssey, Mario & Luigi Dream Team, Tales of the Abyss, Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance and Crimson Shroud

I hope to see more as I know 3DS XL > PS Vita.

Recommend other games that you think is good. Well I'm all here thanks to my Pokemon X!!!

Both has their up and downs but for now i'm glued to my 3DS as well. Vita left to dust lol!
Will get back with Vita once PS4 is out for remoteplay

Ok here is a good list I would recommend:
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D
Fire Emblem: Awakening (Must have)
Super Mario 3D Land
Pushmo
Animal Crossing: New Leaf (Day to day game, not for hardcore type gamers)
Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon
Mario Kart 7
Kid Icarus: Uprising
Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D
Attack of the Friday Monsters! A Tokyo Tale
Tales of the Abyss
Harvest Moon 3D: A New Beginning (new one is coming out soon)
Rune Factory 4
Etrian Odyssey Untold: The Millenium Girl

Will consider one of these. Thanks!

If I buy a Europe region 3DS, then set my location to Canada, so I'll be able to access the US/Canada eshop and buy a digital game there, will the game be US region and will i be able to play it?

you won't have a chance to set location to Canada anyway

Hi..planning to get either 3ds XL or ps vita. I am a guy. Wondering if 3ds XL can just download games online free and play? Or need to purchase ori games?

ooo does it mean i can only set it to europe countries? can i still buy eShop topup (in dollar) and buy europe digital games?

If you are talking about free games, 3DS and Vita to my knowledge has little free games.

If you are talking about piracy, then neither has. No piracy talk here.

Europe for europe. There's no way around it.
