American 3ds, but I'm in France
I recently asked about zelda tri force heroes being region locked (link here Can you play with players worldwide in Zelda triforce heroes? )
And now I'm wondering, since my 3ds was bought in the USA, and now i'm living in france, when I play on region locked online games (like legend of Zelda tri force heroes). Will I conect to the Amercain servers or the Europe/Australia servers?

Can I play a European game on an American 3DS?
Yes, what you want to do is possible. While all 3DS software is region-locked, Nintendo DS software is not. Because that region-locking isn't encoded into the DS software, you can play software from all regions on your 3DS.Are American 3DS region locked?
Yes, the Nintendo 3DS, Nintendo 3DS XL, Nintendo 2DS, New Nintendo 3DS, New Nintendo 3DS XL, and New Nintendo 2DS XL systems are region locked. Region locking enables Nintendo to include parental controls and more efficiently deliver region-specific system and menu updates to users.Can you change country on 3DS?
Tap on the 'System Settings' icon and open it. Select 'Other Settings', followed by 'Profile'. Choose 'Region Settings'. Select a country to switch to, and hit the 'ok' button.What happens if you change 3DS region?
If you change the region of your device: You will not be able to use your NNID (if you have one). NNIDs are locked to the region that they were created in. You may not be able to access the eShop, even if you delete your eShop account beforehand.WARNING: Do NOT Buy Digital Wii U and 3DS Games!
