The Free Thread *Gaming Related*
(07-04-2013, 11:56 AM)Mass Distraction Wrote: Region locking is ruining mah gaming D: I'm sure there'll be a Japan/US exculsive game on a system with a region lock at some point. I just know it.

Nintendos response:
Iwata just spouting bullshit.
"From some people’s perspective, it might seem like a kind of restriction. However, we hope people can appreciate the fact that we’re selling our products worldwide," Iwata told me, acknowledging that Nintendo has "historically" worked with region-locked systems. "There are many different regions around the world, and each region has its own cultural acceptance and legal restrictions, as well as different age ratings. There are always things that we’re required to do in each different region, which may go counter to the idea that players around the world want the freedom to play whatever they want. "

What about all of the Nintendo Handhelds from GameBoy to Nintendo DS?
Edit: It's also worth pointing out that this interview was BEFORE Microsoft removed the Xbone DRM and announced it is region free.
The industry is struggling to manage with it, yet companies can do it whenever they want. It's the worst part about a 3DS since the Nintendo 3DS had such a great library and being able to import games is huge bonus for people like myself who want to play as many games as possible, or others who have crappy law/restrictions on what games they can play.
