== Serial structure ==

LN - ~~Product type (Cartridges are LN, Game boxes are TS, Instruction manuals are MA, leaflets are FA, Quick~~-~~Start guides are MK)~~

[Product][Retail/Demo]-CTR-[Type][Identifier][Region]

~~A/Z~~ - ~~Retail / Demo~~

Product: Length=2, LN - Product type (Cartridges are LN, Game boxes are TS, Instruction manuals are MA, leaflets are FA, Quick-Start guides are MK)

Retail/Demo: Length=1, [A/Z] - Retail / Demo

CTR - 3DS' Codename Rumored to be Horizon

~~CTR~~ - ~~3DS~~' ~~Codename Rumored to be Horizon~~

Type: Length=1, [A/C/H] - Unknown / C is part of the default Serial 'CTAP' / H is used for built in applications like [[Mii Maker]]

Identifier: Length=2, Game's name (made from letters and digits)

Region: Length=1, [E/P/J] - English (US) / Pal (Europe/Australia) / Japanese (Japan)

~~A/C/H - Unknown / (C found at the beginning of the last bit of the default Serial 'CTAP'.) / (H is used for built in applications like [[Mii Maker]]).~~

~~XX - Game's name~~ (~~made from letters and digits~~)

The longer version of the serial number adds a geographical region (usually because of extra languages)

~~E/P/J - English~~ (~~US) / Pal (Europe/Australia) / Japanese (Japan~~)

Those are 3 letters codes at the end of the serial (can be found mostly on demos).

~~Normally E/P/J represents region~~. ~~In demos~~ the ~~serial code structure~~ is ~~LNZ-CTR-(A~~/C/~~H)(Game's name of #s and letters)(E~~/P/J)-~~REGION~~

i.e. The code of the Canadian version of Mario Kart 7 is CAN [http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/687/ctrcan.jpg/]

~~Where REGION is either EUR, USA, or JAP for Europe, United States, and Japan respectively. So demos have an extra identifier at the end of their serial structures~~.
