Where will you use it?

Questions in this guide

  1. Where will you use it?: Take it home to your country / In Japan (long stay/study)
  2. How will you play?: Mostly on a TV / Mostly handheld / Both
  3. Do you need a non-Japanese interface or a non-Japanese account region?: Yes / Japanese and a Japanese account are fine
  4. Budget (JPY, tax included): Up to ¥35,000 / Up to ¥60,000 / Up to ¥100,000 / No limit

If you choose to take it home, models are checked against the voltage, plugs and entry rules of the destination you pick here.

How it works: models that fail hard requirements (such as voltage or budget) are removed first, then the rest are ranked by how well they match your preferences and by third-party ratings. If nothing fits your budget, it tells you how much more you would need.
