Pros & Cons

Update Pros and 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.

It plays most of the american ds games, though i couldn't get the sonic collection for ds to work.
