Q:

Is an SD card inserted into Nintendo 3DS also region-locked?

After I found out about the region-lock on the Nintendo 3DS, I wondered if an SD card that the 3DS uses to save the game data on is also region-locked.
For example, can you use an SD card that is purchased in Italy in a 3DS that is purchased in Japan? Or can the SD card be used only in the same region as 3DS?
I don't believe it is also region-locked, but would like to know definitively before I buy a new SD card.

A:

SD cards do not have any sort of regions to them so you are free to buy a SD card from anywhere. The only type of products that are ever regionlocked are:

Disks, DVDs, Videogames, etc
Software
Websites

Do make sure though that when you buy an SD card that it is compatible with your 3Ds. Nintendo luckily has a page that shows what SD cards have been tested to work properly with the 3DS.
