I don't think TVii, Hulu, or Netflix will work overseas.

Miiverse and the eshop will not be affected.

Edit: In regard to region lock, you cannot play Japanese Wii U, Wii and 3DS games. You will however be able to play Japanese DS games on your 2DS.

That's not entirely true. While the DS/lite had no region lock (and its games have no region lock either), the DSi did have region lock, which only applies to DS games released after the DSi. Those games won't work on a DSi(XL)/3DS(XL)/2DS if from a different region. They will, however, still work on a DS or DS lite.

It's... complicated.
