The Virtual Console? Region locked. Yep. European gamers get European versions, Americans get American and the Japanese get all the cool stuff. The Virtual Console will be dishing up titles from the NES, Super NES, Nintendo 64, the Sega Genesis and the TurboGrafx at a rate of 10 per month. Cool, but still... What's more, while the Wii is compatible with all GameCube software, these titles will be region locked, too. This region locked nonsense has gotten me bummed out about the Wii. The lack of such protection on the DS is one of the things that makes the portable so darn cool. Surely, Nintendo must understand this. Surely.
