Both of Nintendo’s latest systems are region-locked. The Wii U and 3DS are not capable of playing games outside of the country that the original hardware was purchased in. Want to play a Japanese-exclusive game on your US 3DS? Sorry, but you’re out of luck.

Nintendo’s region-locking policy has been in the news as of late, culminating with official comments from CEO Satoru Iwata. Iwata most-recently hinted that the company’s restriction isn’t going anywhere any time soon.

Now, how do developers feel about the situation? NotEnoughShaders caught up with thirteen different teams – including Renegade Kid, Shin’en, and Broken Rules – to find out what they think. You can find a few excerpts below, and even more right here.


Update: A translation posted on NeoGAF indicates that multiple missions/maps are likely to be involved, as opposed to just one of each. The translation also seems to suggest that Nintendo is “thinking” about DLC as opposed to “developing” it. But because Shigeru Miyamoto mentions that the team would like to deliver new content through the Internet “little by little”, I think it’s safe to say that DLC is coming.

Nintendo is working on new content for Pikmin 3. In an interview with Hobo Nikkan Itoi Shinbun, it was revealed that a new map and mission are scheduled for delivery in the future.

When these items will be available are not yet known. It’s also unclear if the DLC will be available for free or for a certain cost.


Nintendo confirmed co-op for The Wonderful 101 during E3 2013 last month. However, it has since been revealed that the game will offer an additional multiplayer mode.

According to The Wonderful 101’s official teaser site, Platinum Games has included some kind of battle mode. Nintendo’s page doesn’t say much about the feature, with a brief notice mentioning that the feature will allow players to “compete head-to-head in battle mode as one of the Wonderful Ones.”

Stay tuned for additional details.


The latest issue of OXM has revealed another new villain for Batman: Arkham Origins. Indeed, the Mad Hatter will be joining the game.

Scans have surfaced from the magazine, but that’s all for now. Official media and details shouldn’t be too far off.
