If it is the case, where is ur 3ds from?
Because i am almost certain that the 3ds is region locked meaning that in order for you to play a japanese version of a game u would need a 3ds bought in Japan.
People do know this right?

Ofc u can do that, but i'm wondering more about the people who got a 3ds from their own country (me included).I will buy the Kingdom Hearts 3ds + the game http://kh13.com/forum/public/style_emoti...
I had originally intended on buying the 3ds over in the US, but i found out that if i did that i would be forced to play games bought in the US as well and that would pretty much have screwed me over...

you could always get one of those R4 Flash Cards for the 3DS

And I can't justify how expensive another 3DS would be to just get it for one game that will eventually be localized -.-

Yes, indeed, but i am more worried if there is someone who has preordered the japanese version while they have a american, european or oceanian 3ds. That would seriously suck for those unfortunate individuals...
The R4 can't play 3D games, in fact no card can yet. They can only play DS and DSi games right now.But that is illegal and you should be ashamed for considering it!

Well, if they can afford it then that's their choice. I hate region block, though, because it punishes the bilingual. I can speak both languages yet I am forced to choose one language or throw all my money for both. It aggravates me -.-Yes, indeed, but i am more worried if there is someone who has preordered the japanese version while they have a american, european or oceanian 3ds.

Same here! I know enough Japanese, not enough as you, but I know it. I leave to Japan in a year. I wanted the game, but now we have to wait until July even though we know the language enough to play it. And importing isn't even illegal and has nothing to do with piracy, yet they still block it.Well, if they can afford it then that's their choice.
