Thanks for the input :)

Seriously considering a 3DSXL, just so image is larger :P Plus, I still have my Wii and 360, so I won't be missing much. Instead I'll get to play tons of RPGs and other Nintendo Classics, with a bigger VC catalog and more indie games. Believe it or not, I still haven't gamed on a 3DS, but did so many times on a Wii U.

Problem are the prices here, all imported items are sold here at at least 2 times the original price...

Depending on the circumstances then, it might actually make financial sense for you to go digital (if you can stomach that). I don't know what eShop you'd access, but it might be able to pay U.S.-level prices for most of your games, and aside from Nintendo games those seem to be akin to what's available at retail (third-parties set their own prices, and can have their own sales).

Completely forgot about that! That's it I guess, still jobless for a few more weeks, but as soon as I start anew, I will be buying a 3DS. I think LatAm has the US eShop, barring some US exclusive services like Hulu, Amazon Video, or other US only features like spot pass, the rest shall be all available here. I would still pay an extra 20% in each transaction I make though, because my country is close to become another Cuba or Venezuela. We are paying an extra 20% over the original price in any transactions that involve foreign currency if we pay the equivalent in our local currency. And since dollars here are much more valuable than our local currency and we are forbidden to get any foreign currency, I get no option but to pay in local currency the equivalent, plus another 20%, which isn't that bad considering all things.

Good news for me haha, thanks for reminding this to me

Mexican gamer here and no about the US eshop... we get Mexican, over-inflated prices and next to no discounts, ever.

 

The 3DS is a great gaming platform tho. I haven't cared about gaming consoles in months due to the 3DS greatness :)

That sucks, can't you register your console as a US one? I did that with my Wii so I could get the Club Nintendo rewards.

Nice to see people are happy with their 3DS's, encouraging for me

Well, i tried that with my Wii U and i wasnt able to... After switching my console to the US zone the e-shop didn't allowed me to login anymore. Apparently Nintendo checks the IP address of your Internet connection to see where are you login from and won't allow you to use Internet features if the IP address doesn't matches with your Wii U settings.

I haven't tried with my 3DS (for the 3DS i prefer to buy cartridges so I can share them with my cousin).. I guess it could be possible and worth a shot. I'll try it one of these days ;)

 

Oh well, looks like they've rectified that with the Nintendo Network, I will try it at my friend's with the Wii U.
Is it possible to link a paypal account? Or only credit cards??

You should try it with the 3DS, seeing that it´s a more portable device and thought for trips and visits to other places, it might allow you
