That's why Nintendo have now set this up.I have a 2DS where I play my Pokemon games (all I play on 3DS these days) and I completely forgot that I bought a US 3DS on launch several years ago.
I ended up installing custom firmware on it a couple nights ago to try and run some downloaded, ummm, 'Linux ISOs'.
Turns out there's an app that lets you download any game off the E-Store, for free. Damn how far has the hacking community gone with this. Nintendo must be really pissed off about it. Now I kinda wish I modded mine earlier to play the leaked ROM of Pokemon Moon hehe.
