Is this a troll video? That "10 year old kids whining" part was ridiculous.

No, this is what happens when people are so enarmored with a company their head will perform the most inane mental gymnastics that would put Cirque Du Soleil to shame. It's fairly horrifying.
I can understand not caring about Region Lockiing, but I can't wrap my head around the idea of defending or supporting it. It offers no benefit to the consumer whatsoever.
The way they're handling Pokémon X/Y is how they should handle all their games; simultaneous worldwide release.That guy's defense made very little sense to me.
If Nintendo cares so much about measuring which markets are successful for a game, why the fuck doesn't it just launch the games in all markets at the same time, and ensure that the game comes with language support for those regions?

Or they could at least release all of their games within a week of each other.

Is this sarcasm?I don't think it's good manners to put a figurehead on the spot like that.

No. Fils-Aime shouldn't have to answer questions he's in no position to answer. I understand people are angry at stupid anti-consumer policies, but let's be reasonable.

Nintendo already stated they already had plans to bring those titles over and that Operation Rainfall didn't strongly influence their release. "Very SUCCESSFUL" is definitely an overstatement as far as their sales go. Simply saying "Oh just import the PAL version" and play it on your region free system is not helping the NA market.
That was one of his replies to a question abut Operation Rainfall.
This answer shows me that he hasn't done his research...
It came out in Europe. It is keeping Rhythm Paradise and Sight Training company in the forgotten bargain bins of Saturn and MediaMarkt (I think they were less than 5 Euros even).Jam with the Band would probably require changes to music before it can be released worldwide.
shock and awe that someone with the name "WiiFolderJosh" defends something assbackwards about nintendoDefending Nintendo's stance on Region Locking : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nr3kXe2uu-8

The sentiment of "we all have to protect Nintendo because they are a very special company" is headache inducing as well. Not the first time I've encountered this on this very topic.
People can be so dense...
It's disturbing when people get so protective of a company. It's like a religion to them. At least there haven't been any game dev assassinations over "betrayaltons" so far.
I have to to say I do understand where he is coming from.From some peoples perspective, it might seem like a kind of restriction. However, we hope people can appreciate the fact that were selling our products worldwide. There are many different regions around the world, and each region has its own cultural acceptance and legal restrictions, as well as different age ratings. There are always things that were required to do in each different region, which may go counter to the idea that players around the world want the freedom to play whatever they want.
...I hope that game fans can understand that the industry isnt doing this solely out of business ego. There are some reasons behind it.
Nintendo said no to the Op Rainfall guys loads of times before they finally gave in. Same with Microsoft more recently regarding X1 DRM.
Campaign should continue, don't back down.
