3ds Xl or LL, does it matter?

Is one region free? I live in North America, does it matter which one I buy?

From what I gather, the XL is the North American and European version while Japan uses LL. All 3DS consoles are region locked however.

Gotcha. That’s what I needed to know. Thanks!

I still have my original 3DS. There was a time where I though about getting the 3DX XL, But its too late for that now because Nintendo has completely abandon the 3DS for the Switch.

If you plan on playing your 3DS still, I'd seriously recommend getting a New 3DS XL before it's too late. Even with Nintendo's efforts strictly on the Switch, I think the 3DS still has merit with its stellar library that extends as far as the DS and it's probably the best way to enjoy some classic virtual console games seeing as Nintendo has no plans to let you own them on Switch anytime soon. And the New 3DS XL model still feels like a premium piece of tech which is good in the long run. Definitely worth the upgrade.
