Pros & Cons
Pros
People import this version so they can play games like monster hunter a whole year or so earlier than the people who wait for the us release does. The screens are bigger than the first regular 3ds.
Cons
This console is region locked to only japan and only plays japanese games. I am also unable to purchase faceplates, exclusive games, or use the c stick- things that this listing suggests you can do.
Highlights
Quality
The screens are bigger than the first regular 3ds, and the special colored buttons(from snes days)are awesome.
The c-stick feels nice and will work with any game that supported the circle pro.

Competitiveness
I bought this instead of the american 3ds because of the size it is perfect for pockets.
If you can't deal with importing european games as well, then deal with it and buy the n3ds xl, since that's the only version the us has.
I bought this and two other japanese 3ds consoles just to add a little flavor to my modest ds collection.
It plays most of the american ds games, though i couldn't get the sonic collection for ds to work.
