Yes, it's the UAE/Middle East version of the console. But that is still considered the NA region so everything works like you expect. I had zero issues setting up the console and my 3ds account. Also, I immediately played 2-3 different games to test if everything works and it worked perfectly. All my 3ds games are USA/NA region so do not hesitate to purchase this console.
I'm disappointed Nintendo has stopped selling 3DS consoles at retail... I would assume there is still a large demand for them even though the switch is the new thing. I have a switch but still find myself playing a lot of 3ds games due to backlog. I wish Nintendo still supported this awesome console and my personal favorite handheld tied with the Gameboy family of systems.
As for the console itself... Just beautiful! It's brand new and absolutely gorgeous. The finish is perfect and the color truly unique without being a distracting yellow. It's the perfect shade that anyone would like. Does not come with a charger but that's been standard with the new 3ds models.
Overall if you are still looking for a brand new 3ds grab these up while you can. I bought this to upgrade from the original 3DS I had since launch...this one is way better in all aspects. The 3ds has an extensive library of games that I will be playing for a long time to come so it was a no brainer purchase for me.
Game on!

From the manufacturer
The graphics for Pokémon Yellow are updated slightly from Pokémon Red and Pokémon Blue, and you can use innovative peripherals such as the Game Boy Printer, which allow you to print out stickers of your favorite Pokémon. Pokémon Yellow also introduces challenges and battle modes that let you compete in exciting ways.
Pokémon Yellow Special Pikachu Edition
Pokémon Yellow Version: Special Pikachu Edition is now available for systems in the Nintendo 3DS family! The game remains true to the original, complete with monochromatic pixel art and 4-bit background music, so you can feel as though you’re experiencing the game just as it was back then!
This title is compatible with wireless communication for the first time ever. In the days of the Game Boy, players had to use a Link Cable to connect with friends, but this game uses the Nintendo 3DS system’s wireless capabilities to allow you to trade and battle Pokémon in just the same way. Pokémon Bank is also now compatible with Pokémon Yellow, allowing you to transfer the Pokémon you’ve caught to the upcoming Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon video games.
Using Pokémon Bank, you'll be able to transfer Pokémon you've caught in the Nintendo 3DS Virtual Console versions of Pokémon Red, Pokémon Blue, and Pokémon Yellow into your copy of Pokémon Sun or Pokémon Moon. Pokémon from Pokémon Omega Ruby, Pokémon Alpha Sapphire, Pokémon X, and Pokémon Y can also be brought into Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon in the same way.
Building on the terrific success of Pokémon Red Version and Pokémon Blue Version, Pokémon Yellow Version returns Trainers to Kanto for more even more fun and adventure. Pokémon Yellow delivers a feature that hasn't been duplicated in any other Pokémon game-Pikachu actually follows you around throughout your journey.

UAE region still works in USA
I want to start by mentioning that I did receive a U.A.E./Saudi Arabia/Malaysia/Singapore version, even though that is not what is pictured in the product information. But it does work in the USA. Just make sure you set the region to the United States during setup, and you'll still have all your usual access to the store. Also remember it doesn't come with an AC adapter so you'll have to get the power cord separately.I transferred my old system's data to the new one using the built-in system transfer process, and I was able to use my same micro SD card as well, just swapping it from my 3DS XL to this New 3DS XL. No problems at all! All my prior purchases were saved and brought to the new system, along with my Nintendo ID and all game data. All of my physical 3DS games play perfectly as well, with less system lag than I saw on the original 3DS XL.The buttons are nice and clicky, and the new second "joystick" feels soft and rubbery but functions surprisingly well. The design itself is super cute! Not too bright of a yellow and the sketchy sort of design looks very nice.My main complaints are specific to the system itself: No more physical switch to easily turn off WiFi, the position of the stylus is no longer handy to get to (now in front instead of on the right side under your hand), the micro SD card can't be removed without a screwdriver, and the hole to fix a strap onto the system is now in the top/back instead of the front/bottom corners (I used to use mine as a makeshift handle and no longer can).But those aren't the fault of the seller. Just the design from Nintendo. :)
