13 Wii U and 3DS developers weigh in on Nintendo’s region-locking stance
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, General Nintendo, News, Wii U | 1 Comment
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.
