Report: Wii U Is Region Locked
Like many other Nintendo systems before it, the Wii U will be locked to specific regions.
CVG reports that it has confirmed with Nintendo that software will only be able to play on a Wii U in the same region. Thus, if you want to play titles released in Japan, for instance, you'll have to import a Japanese Wii U.
Anybody going to go to such lengths? What foreign games would you do it for?
