Say I bought a New Zealand DS, can it play Japanese games or NA games, well I know the GBA could but I don't know about the DS because I'm sick of waiting months after everyone else for a release for games.

The DS and DS Lite can, however I believe that the DSi is region coded. That means you can still play any DS games on it, but it's likely that they'll region lock future DSi games. Not 100% sure, though.
Do not disturb. In lab. Testing.

I think with the DSi it's only the bonus content that's region locked. So if you bought a Japanese DS game with DSi extras, you'd only be able to access them with a Japanese DSi.
