Forums - Nintendo - Erm, why is Nintendo stealing my money? (update, they gave it back!)

The 3DS it's tracking the region where you are from, it's a function in the Streetpass.

They are thinking you are trying to cross markets with double nationality for the console, witch is illegal. You can buy US eShop games only in US and so on for all of the countries.

So...what are you saying?

“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

Maybe you need to spend more than $6000 before Nintendo give your money back.

Again, I'm sure there's nothing to worry about your money, Nintendo will not charge for it and the bank will remove that in a couple of days. The problem I see is that you're not going to be able to buy games unless your region and credit card country are the same. I think you may send a message to Nintendo asking how you can buy eshop games if you live in Kuwait, they answer it fast, normally in the same day or next day.
