There is no need to make every region region free you know. Make japanese games region free (not the console) and make the rest region locked. and btw there is something called Import duty & taxes so its not always cheaper to import from a country with usually lower prices.

Its not like japan has the lowest prices or something.

Or make it like this.
Make US consoles play EU and Japanese games (good for US players) (Or just JAP games so Europeans wont import US consoles)

And make EU consoles play Japanese games (so the greedy idiots dont need to worry about less money The lack of US games for Europeans is not so good but better playing EU and JAP  games only is better than no JAP games at all.)


I mean I would have loved to own Arc Rise Fantasia and Earth Seeker etc but this way they wont see my money at all but I could play the games anyways because I have a modified console.

There is smarter ways than region locking everything. But at least they dont region lock controllers anymore (I have 2 US-NES controllers that dont work with my PAL-NES.)


OR

In a world of shitty micro transactions   (and region locking being a matter of firmware etc  and not hardware) Why dont they allow me to buy Japanese games or US games and pay a 10dollar UNLOCK FEE  so this one single game is playable on my system?  Better than no game at all.
