Nintendo says they have 'no plans' to remove region locking, says it has to do with parental controls/ratings
Coming from a Nintendo of America rep...
"Nintendo has no plans to remove region locking from our systems. By taking this approach, Nintendo is able to include parental controls and ensure compliance with regional standards and rating systems."
I don't know how we would get Nintendo to do a 180 on this stance. It would take one hell of a movement. Fans have been voicing their opinion loudly for awhile now, which has been met with this response. A bit disheartening, but I think the fight will continue on. Thanks to Kdognumba1 for the heads up!
