Why does this not work with American games?

For 3ds games no. This is for Japanese 3ds games also when I got this it didn't come with a charger (which was fine since I had my American one)

The LL is the Japanese version of the larger 3DS. You want the XL for American games. I don't have a legitimate answer for the larger question of why Nintendo uses region locks. I don't agree with it, but I think it has to do with their strategy for selling in different markets which have different prices due to inflation.

Because the Nintendo 3DS is region locked. 3DS units will only play games from the same region they were released in. I.E. North America, Japan, Europe.

Because this is a Japanese version. The Nintendo 3DS LL, means Japanese version and it only support Japanese language games. The Nintendo 3DS XL is the English version, it works with English games. You can't run English version games on LL, and the Japanese version games will not working on XL

Because that stupid Nintendo has region lock on all their game consoles. That means different region console can only play that region version games.

It doesn't work because they are configured differently. The region you assign your 3DS is the region it works in. From my understanding if you moved to another region, you would have to purchase another console. I know of many people who are angry about this. The same issues happen with DVDs.

Nintendo 3DS XL/LL consoles are unfortunately locked by region, so you can only play games from that region. I haven't tried US games on this 3DS, but this is the explanation I have heard. In contrast, the Sony Vita is not locked.

Nintendo games are region locked, so I'd lean toward "not compatible." I'm not sure exactly where you look for definitive proof though.

Maybe you have an older model Wii. If you have a Wii U, it works fine on that console.

Hello. unfortunately the maps will not work since they are programmed for the U.S. the unit will work, but the maps wont.

The 3ds sounds like it's region locked. You can either order your games from the us, via amazon or you could buy a 3ds in Australia. Those are the only ways I know of to work out this issue.

Yes it does. This model has no issues working in the U.S...Aslo, I purchased games and I am playing them just fine. and once you power up the first time it lets you choose your regional settings including language.

I'm American but as long as you can log into XBOX Live it should reach the regional servers in your area if not log onto XBOX Live and ask for a solution.

I have an United states based PlayStation three and it works fine.just to inform the game is completely in Japanese side from a few things but you should be able to get by without knowing it. Lastly there should be an updated version of this game available.

This will not work on an American PS3. I bought it and received it yesterday. It is a PAL version disk. Region 2. I could not play it on my US version PS3. I returned the game.

It worked on my US PS3. The only problem I had with the game was that everything is in Japanese and there is no English translation unless you go online and search for it. The game is awesomeeee though!

The firmware is to old to support any games anymore. As the games/apps do updates the firmware isn't able to support them.

Yes because like me you bought the UK version right or Asian. End you are trying to play it in the states. Which is a different format and the download content only works on the US version so they match up I bought all the downloads and can't use them either

I would active or before using it so it's already in your account. Think it should work as Playstation isn't region locked

Yes it does. It is a US publication of the game all in English and everything so it works with English systems fine. I run it on American Windows 7 myself.

Yes I have. Make sure you have Amex effects enabled before running the program or game. Hope that helps

I am able to interact with other AC players around the world. I do not know if they are using the same game device (3DS) and game as we have in the USA. Wish I could have been more help.

I would say it's US locked. I live in the US and it works fine on my system.
