Yea! Like, I just don't get it... The DS wasn't region locked so why in the tits is the 3ds region locked? It baffles me! Come on Iwata, quit sucking already and make it region free! Region locking in 2014 is just stupid

I mean, come on, the 3ds homebrew is offering region free for gods sake... When will companies learn that if hacking the console offers a better experience at such a basic level, they have truely done goofed and it needs to be fixed

Yeah, I really can't figure out the reasoning here. There are tons of exclusive games in Japan that never see the light of day in the west, why punish gamers by making it impossible for them to play those games?
