Region lock isn't per country, but for a big region. The Americas are on a single region, so any game imported from US, Canada, Mexico or anywhere in the continent will work.

It's a shame, but completely understandable given Brazil's taxes.

That's unfortunate, but expected considering that Wii U must not be selling enough due to price and overall demand to justify their presence in the region. Hopefully they try again with their next console.

Oh you are a 3ds owner?So,hereafter you will have to import the games and new3d or xl,if you want one of those!You will buy them from amazon or ebay but there are many other stores that you can import from them too!Brazil is a pal region,right?

P.s Thanks god you don't accuse nintendo for this,It's a little bit unfair scathing nintendo for this situation...:P

Brazil as of now is NTSC

It's a shame Nintendo never used TEC TOY services in Brazil. 

True. But Nintendo did nothing to support their partner.

While Sony and specially MS not only localize their games to our language and even manufacture their products in the country.  Nintendo essencially do nothing.

Nintendo actually does not KNOW what the partner does with the brand (we asked the official representative for an interview, and the response is always "is their decision, they define the price, they handle the promotion"), and here in Colombia everything is very bad, twitter and facebook updates stopped around october, there was no promotion for the holiday sales, consoles and games are more expensive than those of the competition, they don't sale amiibos at all, they don't bring third party games and so on.

The distributor chooses which games to put in stores (and the taste is very bad, not a single copy of Batman: Arkham games but plenty of units of Planes and ESPN sports), they choose how to promote the console which in the case of my country that means that there are more Wiis connected to TV displays that Wii Us, and they choose how to handle the brand which is painfully bad as they hired another company as community manager, mentioning games that never came to the console, cancelled projects, useless trivia data and which does not answer customer questions.

The distributor is very bad for the region in general, so maybe they can get a new one that improve things for Brasil, specially one that works more closely with them. Thins like manufacturing the products in the country is too much to ask for, but believe me that better prices and good advertisement could do wonders for the brand, not only in Brasil but for the full continent.

I know. A cousin bought a Genesis for his daughter.
