Wii U Will be Region-Locked
http://www.ign.com/articles/2012/09/24/wii-u-will-be-region-locked

laaaaaame…You know Nintendo…People wouldn’t really care as much about your console’s being region locked if you actually could make sure your branches outside of Japan were on point with localizing stuff. Not that I’m trying to point fingers at a certain branch of yours that took about 3 years to localize arguably one of the best Japanese RPG’s this generation or anything…

Region locking has got to go.

I’ve only imported a few fighting games for PS2 back in the day, but I can understand why people might be pissed about it. Personally, I don’t really care. The region lock is in place so people from other countries won’t import games for cheaper. Understandable. Nintendo is a business, they have to make money.

I don’t care about region locks, just like the Wii this will be hacked to high heaven. I’ll import whatever the hell I want.

And if PS4 is anything like PS3 I won’t have many issues. (Screw the 720).

Locked saves bother me more than this but yeah sucks for the people who import games.

Region locks are pretty annoying but nothing people haven’t been able to get around eventually. I just think it’s something they should give up on. It’s a pointless thing to fight.

Locked saves piss me the fuck off tho! That shit is uncalled for!

So I haven’t preordered this baby yet, and I’m kinda scared of its unavailability on November 18th, any good places I can preorder from aside from Toys R Us?

I’ve had to cancel my pre-order sadly T_T. So hype for Bayo 2 though, can’t wait.

If you’re in America it seems almost impossible to get a pre order anymore.

Wii U selling out on launch day is probably for the best if you’re American. It’s safer to keep your ass home knowing the console is unavailable instead of dying to a stampede of overweight middle-aged women at Wal-Mart on Black Friday.

Dayum, I guess the only thing that can make me feel better is that there aren’t actually very good games at launch

Mario! And… umm some generic looking zombie game and… ummm MARIO!

Least the launch window is decent.

Worthwhile launch games.

Wasn’t getting mine at launch anyways.

If I was, I’d have those 2, a slew of Wii games and a slew of VC games to keep me busy.

yea, might be a good time to get into the whole New Super Mario Bros trend, since I haven’t played the 3/DS/Wii versions, last Mario game I played was Super Mario Galaxy 2

Has a date been given to the Wii U versions of Mutant Mudds Delux and Mighty Switch Force HD? Hopefully they are close to launch since they are upgrades to already existing games.

Ugh wish we got more info on Retro City Rampage. It is still slated to come to Wiiware among other platforms, I wonder if it’ll take advantage off the Wii U features now that it is coming…

I’m upset about the region lock, but mostly because I can’t fucking stand most English dubs. If they’d give us original Japanese audio with subs, I wouldn’t import. It can’t be that fucking hard. Aren’t these discs 25GB now? Fuck.

Anyway, I’m concerned about the launch date as well. Huge line. Lots of excited nerds hungry for the new system there might not be enough of. I walk in and buy two of them. I’ve enlisted two people to stand with me as bodyguards.

As for launch titles, I hope Nano Assault Neo makes the cut. TTT2 as well. I’m picking up Mario and Ninja Gaiden. I hope Yaiba comes out for Wii.

Our Wii U wait list is growing as people are starting to become more and more aware of this thing…Nintendo may have inventory issues going through into probably halfway of next year. Thinking about it it, probably wouldn’t be that bad for most console launches if it wasn’t for people who actually didn’t give 2 shits about owning the system buying it from the people who want it and price gouging. I’m already seeing systems up close to $800 on ebay. I hope nobody gets fucking stupid and decides to shoot people over dumb shit.
