As we all know, the normal-sized New 3DS isn't being released in America. As a result, I've imported a system from Europe, but because it's region-locked, I won't be able to do a system transfer and use my old eShop games. I'm not personally interested in piracy.
I, like many others, am hoping to eventually turn my imported EU N3DS into an American one. Once the region has been changed, I don't care about Gateway support. I want to change Sysnand's region, update the console past the point of Gateway compatibility, and use it like a normal North American unit.
None of this is possible yet since the Gateway team hasn't added New 3DS support, but I thought it would make sense to have a thread dedicated to exploring this possibility in the future. There's already been some discussion in Cearp's existing region changing thread, but I didn't want to keep hijacking his topic.

I've posted a detailed guide in the tutorials section. You can find it here.
