Wii U will be region-locked, according to Famitsu

September 24th, 2012 Posted in News, Posted by Valay, Wii U

According to a Famitsu report, Wii U will be region-locked. This will likely be the case given how Nintendo approached the situation with the Wii and 3DS.

The publication wrote in a recent issue:

“What can be played on the Wii U is restricted by a region-lock feature; software not sold in the same region cannot be played.”

Alright Nintendo… this means you can’t take forever to localize games like Xenoblade!

Thanks to 4Him for the tip.

    Expected, but still disappointing. Will be buying the NTSC-u system.

    Well, this confirms I can’t get it on launch day… unless I’m willing to import Wii U games the rest of my life. I’m not.
