The Nintendo 3DS will be region-locked

The news that we are likely to give raise imprecations of various types in many of you, but unfortunately is the sad reality: software 3DS will be region-locked. The official confirmation came through an e-mail sent by the customer service of Nintendo Japan and translated by a member of NeoGAF. What does it mean in practical terms? Simple: you buy an import console, the only software will be compatible on the foreign market, as well as putting their hands on a European 3DS you can not use the imported goods.

Until last E3 Nintendo has always shown undecided on the issue, but apparently now the die is cast. The 3DS is expected in Europe and the U.S. in March, while Japan will be available from February 26.
