I'm definitely all for ending Region locks wherever they may be!
However, I dont think Nintendo seem to really listen to their customers, I think its pretty disgusting they havent even responded to it, I guess they want to ignore it and brush it under the carpet.
In fact, I believe that Operation Rainfall that wanted the 3 Wii JRPGS in the US, Nintendo denied that its because of Operation Rainfall's efforts that the games will be coming to the US, like it was a bad thing...
I still love nintendo for their games and innovation, but as a company... they're too stuck in their own ways.
I'd love achievements, messaging and "True accounts" for Wii U as well, but even if me and a lot of consumers want it, Nintendo dont really care I guess, starting to become more of a company that doesnt make products/services for the people, just for themselves.
