Review on ๐ŸŽฎ Exclusive Nintendo New 3DS XL Solgaleo Lunala Black Edition: Unleash Your Gaming Power by Brandon Hilton

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works perfectly! but beware of the foreign console

After not having had a 3DS console for almost 3 years I was dying to get my hands on one and when I discovered that Amazon had a special version of Solgaleo & Lunala XL, i dip in and buy it. Many sellers are currently selling these consoles for around $250-$350 and I was more than lucky to get this $220 console in new condition. The system runs great and can play North American games without any problems. However, there is something that people should be aware of. The console I received is not a North American console. The box said it was a Singapore/Malaysia/Saudi Arabia/UAE console. Rest assured that this will not affect your gameplay or anything related to your Nintendo ID. I tested my copy of Pokรฉmon Sun and it works great. I had to call Nintendo the day I received this to have them link my ID to this new device. Even though they said it was someone else's device, they were able to connect my new system. Just the fact that I can keep playing my games and tying my ID to the console is a huge relief. If you look at the regions for Nintendo, you'll see that the US, Middle East, and Southeast Asia count as the same region, allowing you to play US games on a foreign console. The only problem with this is if you need to send the console in for repairs or get a warranty. I've heard people say that Nintendo America won't do this for you, you may have to ship it to Nintendo UAE to have it fixed. I personally don't worry about this as I've never had an issue with the 3DS and have never had to claim under warranty. Fingers crossed I don't have to do that. The only reason I'm giving this review four stars instead of five is because it strikes me as a somewhat fraudulent list. By that I mean that if you live in the US you normally expect to buy a North American console and it's kind of disappointing that Revain allowed that. But still the system works great and has no complaints other than what I have listed TBH. If you're willing to pay a reasonable price for a new 3DS XL, especially a discontinued and hard-to-find special edition, and don't care that it's a foreign console, I say go for it and toss your wallet on this one.
