I'm thinking of getting one as a gift.

what region would you guys recommend if I want to have a large selection of games to buy from locally?

Either US or Asian.

I checked Wikipedia and saw that there's only 3 regions

US
Europe/Aus
Japan

by Asian I suppose you mean Japan? wouldn't most games be Japanese?

Asian is just repackaged US system that is for official distribution in this region, more specifically Malaysia, Singapore & UAE. Also, Wikipedia is wrong as there's more than 3 unique regions for 3ds

if it's a repackaged US system, does that mean that Asian consoles will be able to play US games and vice versa?

Any way of knowing which region the DS is from?
