A question about region lock for DS games on 3DS XL

Hi.

So, I'm planning that I may buy a 3DS XL, you can get them for fairly standard prizes here.

But the games I want to purchase for it is really difficult to snif up in the UK, so I wante to ask about buying the US versions.

I have looked a bit around forums from different sites and I think I read somewhere that games for a normal DS shouldn't have region lock on a 3DS or 3DS XL, can anyone confirm this?

Thank you!

Original DS games are not region locked, even though the 3DS itself is and its own games are. Thus, any region DS game will work on any 3DS. I play my import japanese DS games on my US 3DS all the time.

Ok, so both the consoles and some games are region locked?

How do I check for games region lock, should that just be displayed in the informtion?

Don't mind him. He calls people names all the time.

Here's a list of some DSi-enhanced games: link. It's not complete, but everything besides the Pokemon games are mediocre.

Cool, thanks for the help.
