I have a Japanese n3DS. I'm wondering what the remaining downsides are since the eShop is no longer going to be accessible.
I have a vague idea of things it does/breaks, but does anyone have actual experience with region-changing from JPN to US and can tell me precisely what things it breaks? My physical region-locked games are all North American. I play fewer Japanese games than North American games digitally as well. Having the English UI isn't really necessity for me, but it would be kind of nice to have U firmware instead of J.
Other than having busted SNES VC game banners (from North American region) on the Japanese console, and often needing to use Luma Locale Switcher I don't have any big issues using the Japanese firmware. If region changing would virtually make the console indistinguishable from its US/NA counterpart at this point, though, I might consider it anyway.
