First NX should be region free. So us gamers don't go to this NA only have digital only release while EU has a retail release.

I believe EU games would have english translation of the game so NA should also get those. English, Spanish and maybe French are already good for NA audience. For SA, Spanish, English, Portuguese would be good.

it is just a crazy thing about region locks, and I believe it is not hardware limitations. make it happen Nintendo.

I think Iwata said something in March about how Nintendo is looking into making the NX region free!

What Iwata said was: "nothing has been decided yet, we're currently investigating internally what problems there would be in realizing [a region free system]. You can think of that as the current situation. I understand your desire, so I'd like to look at it optimistically going forward." (source: arstechnica via neogaf).

With all my respect to Mr Iwata, that's a typical PR answer and I wouldn't bet my money on how this will end.
