hi everyone, I'm been trying to find some info on this but there is not much online it dosen't help im not the most tech savy. I know the game is a import but do i have to have a japan region 3ds to play it? second question, once i have the right 3ds i need does any one have any info on where i can find down the fan made english patch? Any advice you might be able to give will be greatly appreciated. Thamk you.

Yes you need a Japanese 3DS to play it, But you could also snatch up a copy of Cubic Ninja and run a home-brew program that can play imports on a (Earlier Firmware) US Region 3DS.

as for the Translation Patches, Id recommend checking & Hunting down homebrew 3DS Forum to catch up on that scene for more information.
