Mine says This QR Code cannot be scanned with this system. Why is it doing this?

Your 3DS probably is not updated

If you own an old 3ds or old 3ds XL, it won’t work. It’ll have to be from a new system. Because i have a 3ds XL and a new 3ds XL and the qr scanner only works on my new system. Also, not important but my 3ds XlL (new) was bought when it first came out so any new generation 3ds should be able to scan the qr codes.

I used my old one. It works fine. It was the first batch though

When a scan the code it says This QR Code cannot be scanned with this system. Do I have to get a newer 3DS system? How do I fix this?

If you are based in Europe, a separate QR Code will be released tomorrow. There’s no need to buy a New Nintendo 3DS!

I live in New Zealand, which QR code would work for me?
Reply
I tried it on my moon game but didn’t work

This code is for North America. If you are based in another region, you will have to wait for a separate code.

That’s weird. Did you definitely purchase a North American copy of the game?
Reply
Alex, do you have a New gen 3ds or an old gen 3ds and when did you buy it, because the QR scanner seems to only work on my New 3ds XL and not my old 3ds XL. So it’s probably the system.
Reply
Same. I’m in the US and this code doesn’t work.
Reply
What language did you play it in? If nor English it won’t work

Use the in-game QR scanner, which is in the X-menu 🙂
Reply
I have an older 3DS and the code works. You have scan the code through the in-game QR scanner, NOT the camera function from the 3DS home screen
