SmileBASIC 4's out today in countries outside of Japan—this is the latest version of the BASIC coding app that's been around since the DS days and the addition of USB keyboard/mouse support makes it a million times more practical

game sharing's done via server & that's where it gets a little complicated: in short, the base game lets you download games every 8 hours & doesn't let you upload anything, if you want upload slots & unlimited DL you need to buy a server key (or multiple if you want more slots)
I believe it'll include a server ticket by default overseas but I can't check for myself atm
as you might expect, there's a ton of neat Japanese games already out there—again, can't list em all right now but I'll drop a ton of em on y'all tomorrow

there are a ton of shooting games for SmileBASIC (including Smileboom's own GIVERS P3D, which I also recommend) and this might be the most polished of the lot: Reflection Force! [4EKE334XF] https://twitter.com/xxxx_kt_xxxx/status/1253161612216655877
