there's no shortage of gamers who want into the event

As such, there's no shortage of gamers who want into the event, giving them a chance to not only rub shoulders with their favourite developers but also get their hands on a ton of unreleased games.What there is a shortage of, though, is tickets. E3 is only open to members of the industry and press, not the public, meaning to get in you either need to make games, sell them or write about them.

As Nintendo support explains, if one plays a Korean 3DS game on a Japanese 3DS (or vice versa), it won't work — and so on and so forth.This should replica Movado 0605559 WoMen's watch come as too much of a shock as the Nintendo DSi and the DSi XL have region codes.Kotaku is following up with Nintendo to confirm whether or not the 3DS is actually region locked.
