The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes online play is region locked
Although it's supposed to be to reduce latency and improve the game experience, this means you won't be able to play with your online buddy across the pond when the game hits shelves on October 22nd. This is coming from the only game company that still deploys region locking restrictions on its other consoles and games.
What do you think of Nintendo's region locking practices and is it time for them to rethink their policies?
