Region lock in Nintendo; It really works
Sunday, September 27th, 2009
The Nintendo DSi-capable cartridges are region locked. This was announced by the company almost a year before.
The Nintendo DS cartridges that features DSi-enhanced camera functionality released in the US market works well on a system in US and it boots very fine but the same when brought to a Japanese system, the icons of the game does not appears in the menu. Thus it prevents from playing on that system.
Well, this lock-out is not applicable to playing on standard DS or DS Lite systems because they don’t have the same specific territory firmware as of the DSi units.
Remember this properly that this DSi lock-out is not only limited to the DSi Shop and DSiWare downloads.
Nintendo announced last year about it and then it mentioned that the reason behind doping this is because of the cartridge lock-out is due to the specific internet connectivity of the system and also the incorporated parental controls.
