I'm pretty sure the DS's games were region-free, so I'd guess the 3DS's are as well, but don't quote me on that.
Though the charger will probably be different so you may need to find an adapter.

Re: Question about 3DS
While you're right about DS games and systems, I'm quoting you on this because you're wrong about 3DS games and systems. It's one of the main reasons I'm not buying a 3DS.Akonyl wrote: I'm pretty sure the DS's games were region-free, so I'd guess the 3DS's are as well, but don't quote me on that.

They run at different framerates, just like the consoles. A UK system can never play a Japanese or North American (I say this because I am Canadian, not American) game.

Re: Question about 3DS
No, they won't. That's the entire point of a region lock.Conan324 wrote: lol im confused, so will US games work on UK 3DS? please i need an accurate answer
Use pretty much any American site and import it. Amazon I'm sure would work, and Gamestop or Best Buy probably ship internationally but I'm not positive since I've never had to do it.Conan324 wrote: thats bad news, is it possible to order a US 3DS from UK?

Re: Question about 3DS
Well, your only choices are to find an import store or to import it yourself. You might be able to find one at like a US Naval Exchange Store if they have them there.
