I wanted to buy the Nintendo DSi, but the one I want to buy is from Japan. I wanted to know if I would still be able to play video games that I buy in America or if I have to use video games from Japan that are in Japanese. Also, would there be a setting on it to change the language?

    you probly wont be able to charge it without a converter but that’s all i can think of; unless the language settings are hard to find

    EDIT: Why don’t you wait the two extra days and just order the English one if you’re so concerned?
