Nintendo president defends region locking Jul 4th 2013, 03:12 Nintendo president explains region locks are a result of cultural differences and legal requirements in global markets.   Nintendo president Satoru Iwata has discussed why the Japanese company continues to include region restrictions on its hardware and software products, citing differing social acceptance in global markets and legal requirements in an interview with IGN. "From some people’s perspective, it might seem like a kind of restriction. However, we hope people can appreciate the fact that we’re selling our products worldwide," Iwata said. "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 we’re 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." Iawata explained that Nintendo is not the only company currently limiting out-of-region support for products, but insisted that its intentions are not to punish users. "I hope that game fans can understand that the industry isn't doing this solely out of business ego," he said. "There are some reasons behind it." Last month during E3, Sony announced that the PlayStation 4 will be region free, allowing users to play discs from any territory. Microsoft initially revealed that its upcoming home console, the Xbox One, would include region encoding to comply with country-specific regulatory guidelines. Following its press conference at the trade show, Microsoft back-pedalled, announcing a complete policy reversal, saying, ’Xbox One games will be playable on any Xbox One console--there will be no regional restrictions.’ [ Watch Video ] Comment on this video Watch this video in High Def Read and Post Comments | Get the full article at GameSpot "Nintendo president defends region locking" was posted by Dan Chiappini on Wed, 03 Jul 2013 20:12:05 -0700 The Last of Us and Grading on the Gender Curve Jul 4th 2013, 00:30 The Last of Us tells its story well, but that story is yet another take on the all-too-common tale of a violent, brooding male hero whose character development is fueled by the violent deaths of women.       Get the full article at GameSpot "The Last of Us and Grading on the Gender Curve" was posted by Carolyn Petit on Wed, 03 Jul 2013 17:30:51 -0700 GameCrib Season 2 teaser Jul 4th 2013, 00:26 Join us July 10th for the season premiere of GameCrib Season 2!   Read and Post Comments | Get the full article at GameSpot "GameCrib Season 2 teaser" was posted by Ryan Mac Donald on Wed, 03 Jul 2013 17:26:19 -0700 DARK Screens Jul 3rd 2013, 23:55 10 new shots posted.       Get the full article at GameSpot "DARK Screens" was posted on Wed, 03 Jul 2013 16:55:15 -0700 Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS Screens Jul 3rd 2013, 23:45 3 new shots posted.       Get the full article at GameSpot "Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS Screens" was posted on Wed, 03 Jul 2013 16:45:25 -0700 Super Smash Bros. for Wii U Screens Jul 3rd 2013, 23:45 16 new shots posted.       Get the full article at GameSpot "Super Smash Bros. for Wii U Screens" was posted on Wed, 03 Jul 2013 16:45:11 -0700 GameSpot GamePlay Episode 47: Floaty Butt Jul 3rd 2013, 23:06 Developer Mike Bithell joins Kevin, Carolyn, and Tom to show new GameSpotter Walter Lopez the ropes.
