Nintendo put region lock on VC

[Lothars]

Wow, another spectacular post by Lothars! Shitting up the thread with not one, but two posts! It's a double whammy!

Here's a tip: You don't get the right to bitch about someone if you can't even find the shift key. The period key is that way ->

Also, you don't need to break every sentence up into a new paragraph.

It looks retarded.

It looks stupid.

It is annoying.

It makes you look like a dumbass.

Kittens.

Hmm oops o well, I did have basically breaks in each sentences, I really didn't mean to but whatever

That still doesn't discount my post that your basically an annoying dumbass troll.

I'm willing to bet that one of the reasons why there is region locking is due to ESRB rules. (though that doesn't explain it for Europe). I seem to recall when they first announced the virtual console that they would allow you to get games from all regions. I guess they have decided against it for some reason.

[quote"shadowkn55"]It all boils down to money. If an american player buys Seikden Densetsu 3, NOJ gets the money, not NOA. It helps regionalize the money and sales. There's really no other reason for region locking. The same applies to movie dvds.[/quote]

Me thinks y'all need to take some reading classes. :P

"However, this doesn't necessarily mean that gamers will only get to play titles released in Europe. It could well be that Nintendo still releases the likes of "Chrono Trigger" for the SNES and "Sin and Punishment" for the N64 in Europe, but just in European editions - with the extra languages."

No big whoop. Actually I see this as a good thing. It supports translated imports more than poo's on import VC stuff entirely. I'll dl Sweet Home, Sin & Punishment, Bangai-O and a bunch of other games that never came out here. Some (ie Sweet Home, text heavy stuff) ONLY if they are in english.

Those 3 posts sum up what I was thinking, figured people should look at those.

Stop bickering. :P

Still, they could have made and saved so much more money by creating one central worldwide server/db than creating this region lock stuff.

I guess we will just have to wait and see....
