Anyhow, I'm sure you know this already, but the GBA was more sophisticated than the GB, the DS was more sophisticated than the GBA and the 3DS is even more sophisticated. My completely uneducated guess is that it's much easier to implement these restrictions with more sophisticated technology. I mean, think about it, when making a system, they probably have a lot of things to implement. Region Lock is probably near the bottom of the list. So, with earlier systems and their limited technology, Nintendo couldn't be bothered. Since 3DS can do so much stuff already, it's probably easy to add Region Lock and they therefore decided to do it. |
I have my own funds and cards and stuff NOW, but when i was a kid that would have been a no-no. Lucky you
Why has Sony then stopped region coding consoles??? I think its HARDER to make region coded consoles. Ninty has to make essentially 3 different kinds of 3DSs, where as PSP for example. You just make one type and send it on its way. That has to be an easier alternative
