: You cannot buy new digital games. However, you can still redownload games you previously purchased.
: 3DS systems are region-locked. A Japanese (NTSC-J) console will not play North American (NTSC-U) or European (PAL) games unless it has been modded . 4. Understanding the Digital Landscape
: Used 3DS batteries may be bloated or hold a charge poorly. Replacements are still sold by Nintendo and third parties.
: Ask if there are scratches, dead pixels, or yellowing (common on older screens).
: A budget-friendly, flat (non-folding) version that plays 3DS games but without the 3D effect.
