Fans have started a campaign to end region locking on Nintendo consoles. Following news that PlayStation 4 is region-free and Microsoft’s recent reversal on policies including region locking, a petition now asks Nintendo to follow suit and end region restrictions altogether.
“Following Microsoft's U-turn on its DRM policies, including making the Xbox One region-free alongside the PS4, Nintendo is now left as the only major console manufacturer that maintains a region-locking policy,” the petition says. “This practice is restrictive to customers, including those who enjoy playing foreign games not available domestically, speak foreign languages, serve in the military, or otherwise travel or live abroad. If anything, region-free policies encourage the additional sales of legitimate software that cannot otherwise be obtained in a given country; the money would still go to Nintendo, the developers and the distributors behind each game.”
