Here's a link to their petition if no one looked at the source: http://www.change.org/en-GB/petitio...n-blocking-make-the-3ds-and-wii-u-region-free
360 is Region free for most of the games (Japanese games being an exception)
PS3 is region free, PSVita region free? PSP region free?
DS is region free, GBA also iirc...
I also hardly imported games, I'd love to import some games tho.

I'm more concerned about Nintendo's software DRM, where digital software is tied to the console and non-transferable. Why can't they make it so you can move software to external storage and back and forth, but not copy it? Then software can't get duplicated.
That sounds like a f***ing nightmare for somebody who doesn't speak Japanese fluently.
That's another thing that needs fixing, yeah.
Because once you remove the drive from the unit, there's nothing stopping you from making a copy of the external storage?
Oh God, please let this happen.
I would so buy Inazuma Eleven 3DS games <3

It will be good thing for people who are not know English very well and Japanese is their first language.
Supply & demand I love this kind of stuff now if only I can get a few people on my side & have them approve my idea which was to give basic owners something similar to the Deluxe Digital program.In any case knowing Nintendo they would bring it to basic set owners using voucher codes but only if there is enough demand for it .

Yes, the vocal minority sending tweets was what influenced Sony and Microsoft's policies, not the already-immensely harsh press backlash and huge gap in preorder sales between the consoles. Nope, it was the Tweets!
Just because a lot of people can write a hashtag doesn't mean they'll actually commit and buy the consoles. And the people who seriously care, Nintendo fans, likely already own a 3DS/Wii U or will purchase them later no matter what. Why should Nintendo even bother?
And come on, a tweet means as much as a Facebook like (hell, maybe even less). At least writing in a letter or making videos takes some effort.

These Twitter campaigns are overused nowadays. Back when I was a young'n, we used to write actual letters to companies about this stuff. Crazy, right?
In any case, it would certainly be nice to get and be able to use some of the limited edition flavors they release exclusively in other regions, namely Japan. I know a lot of people liked the black Charizard 3DS XL.

Signed the petition. But I've got to admit I have no idea whether they'll listen. I couldn't have put it better than Gahars did: it's not going to boost wiiu sales. This is a publicity stunt at best ("does nintendo cares about their fans?").
And the region lock obviously has to has a measurable advantage to someone (why else is it there in the first place?). So I guess that in the end, it's that advantage counterweighted to the publicity it gets.
...even if that last part isn't going to do much (it's just getting up to par with competition).

Give Nintendo a choice. "Get rid of region locking or I shall do so myself with Gateway! Once it gets that feature, that is..."
I don't know japanese, but I sure would like to Import american copies of SMT IV and Soul Hackers without having to buy another 3DS.

Well, from what I've heard from my parents, he had a seizure last night, perhaps an epileptic episode, fucking died, had a near death experience, my dad called the paramedics, they showed up, took him to the hospital, and he woke up covered in tubes, and started complaining.
