Hi!
I was searching around for a cheap place to buy Zelda Wind Waker HD, and I found this seller on ebay. But since I'm in Europe and he is in USA, will my machine read the game?

 

Thanks!

No it will not read the game, and yes the eShop is region locked. It's annoying that's for sure.

The codes are region-locked I believe.

While I don't know for sure, when the 3DS launched game codes for the eShop, I did contact NoE and they said they were region-locked codes back then, same with cash cards.

I doubt that has changed.

 

It's a shame, because there's some decent code deals on ebay.
