Region Unlocking might not be a distant dream afterall?!

According to this poster on neogaf who translated part of Nintendo's latest Investors Meeting Q&A, Iwata may be actually considering ending region lock. http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=922801

I really hope it's actually true since there are many japan only 3DS games I want to play. How much time do you guys think this is going to take?

Eh, it'd be good but there is no way the N3DS will be region free so I don't think that's happening anytime soon.

I do believe their next gen needs to be region free.

It would be best to make it region free. I don't think the current gen systems by Nintendo will be though.

no they are locked down tight, shame really since Nintendo could open their own import site to make more money.
