Shipping to Malta
Shipping €8.75 — your parcel leaves the Netherlands.
Order more than one and you share the shipping: one parcel, priced by weight — a second game adds only a little.
There are no customs borders inside the EU: no customs, no import duties, no extra VAT. The amount you see at checkout is the final amount.
Shipping to Malta
- Small parcel (games or a handheld), tracked
- €8.75
- Parcel (home console or larger order), tracked
- €31.00
- Delivery time
- 6-8 working days
We ship from the Netherlands, inside the EU: no customs, no import duty and no import VAT — unlike a parcel from the UK since Brexit, the amount at checkout is the final amount. It does take a little longer than a delivery from within Malta.
You pay in euros — credit card, PayPal, Pay by Bank or bank transfer. No conversion and no exchange fees: the amount at checkout is the final amount, and nothing is due on delivery.
Why does shipping from the Netherlands cost more than at home?
Inside the Netherlands a single game fits through the letterbox — €6.37, tracking included. Across the border that same small tracked parcel costs from €8.75. The difference is the route: PostNL takes it across the border, and the postal service of the destination country delivers it to the door — each charges for its part of the trip.
That amount covers the PostNL rate to your country plus the packaging: bubble mailer or box, an antistatic sleeve for the cartridge, and tape. We never drop the tracking — on a parcel that crosses a border, shipping without proof of delivery is a risk for both of us.
Without you there would be nothing to grow. Every order that comes in here is the reason this shop can get bigger — and the reason I can keep doing this.

More about this item
About this product
Pokemon X for Nintendo 3DS — a classic from the Pokémon series, among the most sought-after Nintendo games there are.
Generation 6 on Nintendo 3DS — the first Pokémon in full 3D. The Kalos region, Mega Evolutions and the legendary Xerneas.
With its original box. Cartridge cleaned and tested on original hardware, ready to play. Clear signs of use on the item, described honestly — the game works perfectly.
The Nintendo 3DS came out in 2011: autostereoscopic 3D screen, StreetPass, backwards compatible with DS games. On the original cartridge the game runs the way it was meant to — and keeps working for years to come.
Who is this for? Anyone who would rather play on a real Nintendo 3DS than in an emulator — collectors who want the original in their hands, and players who simply want that feeling back.
What to know before buying a Pokémon game: Pokémon cartridges are the most counterfeited game cartridges in the world. We check every copy ourselves — the label and the product code on the back — so you know for sure you are getting an original, not a fake. In doubt? Send us a message and we will take extra photos for you.
European (PAL) edition — the same region as every console sold in Malta, so it plays on your Nintendo 3DS, region lock or not. Game text in English unless the name says otherwise; the box is the European print. Every item passes our authenticity check (shell, board, Nintendo markings) and a function test — you're buying 100% original Nintendo.
Shipped from the Netherlands with PostNL tracking to Malta: from €8.75, no customs or import VAT inside the EU. 30-day right of withdrawal.

Seen it cheaper elsewhere?
For most titles there’s also a private listing online, sometimes a few euros cheaper. The difference isn’t in the title, but in the copy itself and in everything around it.
- Does it work?
- Here: Has been running here — save and label checked — before it went online.
- Private seller: ‘Works’ in the photo. You test it yourself, after buying.
- Is it genuine?
- Here: Label, product code on the back, colour and shape of the card, and booting. A reproduction doesn’t get through.
- Private seller: Fakes are a plague with Pokémon and GBA games, and in a photo you can’t tell the difference.
- If it disappoints?
- Here: 30-day cooling-off period, and a 12-month warranty that it works.
- Private seller: No right of withdrawal: consumer law doesn’t apply between private individuals. Buyer protection only covers the first 48 hours after delivery; after that you’re on your own.
- Who’s behind it?
- Here: One person, who has held this game personally and answers your question personally.
- Private seller: Varies per listing.
Why you still remember this
The generation you played when you were really too old for it
You didn’t have time for it any more and you did it anyway — on the train, at lunch, in the evening on the sofa with the TV on. The shop was still right there on the console itself, trading happened with someone on the other side of the world, and somewhere you knew this would probably be your last handheld.
One copy, this copy. The shops on these consoles have closed. Everything you still want from this generation has to be physical from now on.

Compatibility — Nintendo 3DS
Nintendo 3DS cartridges are region-locked (EU/US/JP are separate regions) but work on the whole 3DS family — and those consoles also play DS games through backwards compatibility.

How we test Nintendo 3DS games for authenticity
3DS cartridges (2011-2020) have anti-counterfeit security, but fakes exist. We go through these five steps. Every Nintendo 3DS game in our shop goes through this five-step check before it is sold.
Card with a tab + sharp label
A 3DS card has a small protruding tab on the right, so it does not fit in a DS, and a slightly matte, sharply printed label. Glossy or blurry print is suspicious.
Product code CTR-XXXX
On the back: CTR- prefix (the internal codename of the 3DS). CTR-P-ECRP = Omega Ruby EU. No CTR- prefix or a mismatch = fake.
"Nintendo 3DS" branding
The cartridge must say "Nintendo 3DS", NOT "Nintendo DS" or "Nintendo DSi". Fakes often get this wrong.
Start-up test on a 3DS
The cartridge appears as an icon in the 3DS Home menu. An original cartridge gives the cinematic intro. Fakes give "data corrupted" or open a strange launcher.
Region and save test
A European card starts on a European 3DS or 2DS — an American or Japanese one does not, so the region on the label has to match. Then: save, switch off, switch on again; the save must still be there.
What we see with Nintendo 3DS games
Our experience
3DS cartridges can be recognised by the CTR product code and the tab on the side — that tab keeps them out of a DS. Since the eShop closed (March 2023), loose cartridges are the only way left to get 3DS games. We check cartridges with a start-up test, a region check and a save test.
Our tip
3DS cartridges only work on 3DS/2DS systems. NOT backwards compatible to DS systems (it does work the other way round: a 3DS plays DS games). The nicest screen is in the New 3DS XL and the New 2DS XL.
About this specific copy
This copy comes with its original box. A manual or inserts may be included, but we do not guarantee them. This copy is in "Acceptable condition" — working, but with visible wear (scratches, signs of use). Our grading is conservative.

About the Nintendo 3DS
The Nintendo 3DS (2011) is the direct successor to the DS and adds a glasses-free 3D effect to the top screen. The platform is fully backwards compatible with all DS games, which means you can effectively play 3,000+ titles. The 3DS eShop closed in March 2023 — since then, physical cartridges are the only way to get new content.
- Fully backwards compatible with all Nintendo DS games.
- The 3D effect can be switched off — it works in 2D for comfort during long sessions.
- The eShop has been closed since March 2023. Physical 3DS cartridges get more expensive every year as supply dwindles.
- Pokémon X/Y, Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon and Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D are the most sought-after titles.
Our tip: 3DS cartridges are rarely counterfeited — the chip technology is too complex. So when buying, pay attention above all to the region (an American cartridge does not start on a European 3DS), the condition and the label quality; we check every copy anyway.
