Should the 3ds be able to run jap, and european's games?

Should the 3ds be able to run jap, and european's games i honestly think it should because japan has some really cool games for the 3ds that people in na/euro cant play what do you guys think?

I think the term you meant is Region-Free. And yes, all of the 3DS systems should be able to do it, but well, we all know that Nintendo's decisions have been really stupid when it comes to it, so I'll say I'd like, but unfortunately, it won't happen anytime soon.

(Though I would have loved that CN could be region-free too, because you guys are getting great things, and Flipnote next week, while we still have nothing. Not even an update and we'll have to wait for the "New" CN to get Flipnote).

Yes. Region-locking just cuts down on sales and deprives fans of games they want. It's a lose-lose situation. Nintendo's reason for it is that, according to their answer when I emailed them three years ago, it helps them 'estimate sales in each region better.' That's ridiculous. Just come and take our money, wouldja?

If the N3DS was region-free, I'd have been in full support of it.

There is a way Google region 3.

Not really bothered about jap games because I don't understand jap.

but, I'm annoyed about region lock because NA gets all the cool stuff and there are more giveaways here geared at NA 3DS users which is a shame. ;_;

another thing would be Club Nintendo rewards, NA users get free VC games for coins whilst EU gets 3DS pouches and posters. It's pretty lame. I know it ends soon but the last months will have some decent rewards (NA CN).

so, I think the lock should be removed. I highly doubt Nintendo will do it, though.

Yes, it should be able to do so. I mean, Sony and Microsoft have all given up on region locks as they know it only hampers both consumers and them. Most of the 3DS games I like are JRPG's, and some of them are not even released outside Japan, which is a shame considering how many people would buy them.
If the 3DS's were region free, I might have considered importing a small New 3DS from Japan, as I really like the design of it.
Final Fantasy Explorers is a game I was lookign forward to, but there is no news of a western release
