[Question] Nintendo DSi Regional Restrictions

[linker009]

Ok, my current DS Lite isn't exactly in good condition, so i was considering buying a DSi.

I bought my current DS Lite and several games on a trip to Japan, so they are all Japanese, however i also have a bunch of european games aswell.

I read that the DSi is region locked, so i'm worried i won't be able to play all my games.

 

I am looking at importing an American DSi, as it is $100 cheaper then here, will i still be able to play all of my european and japanese games?

This should answer your question.

I believe that the DSi is only region locked for DSi software (i.e. software that has DSi only features). however, i do not own a DSi, so I may be incorrect. This is just what I have been informed of.
