I've been thinking about getting some region locked DS games online, I'll try to get 9 persons 9 hours 9 doors first, but it was never released on PAL regions. Can I play those games on my 3DS?

You know it deserves the GOTY.

DS games aren't region locked, so you should be fine.

"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."
