According to video Game developer Yukio Futatsugi, his tabletop board game Machi Koro was originally going to be a digital board game available on the 3DS, but Nintendo encouraged Futatsugi and his company Grounding to go physical with it instead.
"My company has made a lot of board games, and Nintendo has told me that our games are interesting. Machikoro was supposed to be on 3DS, but the idea didn’t become a reality because it wouldn’t sell on 3DS, and so Nintendo suggested, 'Hey, Grounding, why don’t you manufacture this as a physical board game, I’m sure it will sell really well!' and that’s how Grounding came to become a board game creator."

In the Japanese and American versions of the 3DS' "StreetPass Mii Plaza", when attempting to purchase a DLC from a rabbit but then declining to buy it will cause the rabbit to depressively say "Oh, I see...". However, the European version removed the rabbit's depressed response and replaced it with a more neutral "Fair enough!", instead.
This was done to bring it in line with European laws put in place to prevent manipulating children into purchases; "Games should not include practices that are aggressive, or which otherwise have the potential to exploit a child's inherent inexperience, vulnerability or credulity or to place undue influence or pressure on a child to make a purchase."
