Honestly i don't know if the fight is worth it in Wii U's case. No Japanese games worth getting, you see. (no Japanese games at all from what the lineup seems to be showing...)

For 3DS, now, that would be a thing...


Not to mention that a portable region-locked is one of the dumbest thing I could ever imagine, at least in gaming.


However, region-locking serves a purpose (otherwise why do it?).  

Region-locking's purpose is to allow producers and vendors to stick to old strategies that refuse to acknowledge we have already entered for many years a global market, where national boundaries count no more (except than having to pay import duties). It serves just the purposes of vendors and totally screws the buyers not offering them any benefit at all. And this is particularly true in a portable, that should allow its owners to play a game wherever they bought it, but it also screws home console users, preventing them from importing games that aren't available in their countries.
