Nintendo news is a bit slow this morning (Of course, as soon as I post this article, the internet will blow up with news), so I thought I would share a Nintendo experience I had last night.

Rumor: Wii U Region Locked

Eurogamer has reported that they received confirmation, from Nintendo UK, that the Wii U will be region locked.  Now, this comes as no surprise since the Wii and the 3DS were also region locked, but it is a bit frustrating.  There is nothing worse than finding a rare, or obscure title at a flea market, or online, and finding that your system cannot play it because of the region lock.
