I remember in the 80s when Nintendo were putting other companies out of business by threatening retailers that if they stocked rival systems then they would limit the stock that said store received from them. The point is, they are a business, they aren't your friend. Enabling playing of region locked games is very much a good thing.
If Nintendo were to start releasing GBA games on the 3DS via the Virtual Console, I and loads of others would jump at the chance. They've shown it is possible, yet they haven't put any on the actual store front for people to buy.
Think Sega have the right idea, the 3DS versions of classic games are truly amazing conversions. If Nintendo did something like that, minds would be blown.

Re: A 'Big' Nintendo Announcement is Coming on Monday
Big Rigs is coming over to Wii U nailed on.
Re: Black Friday Sales Bring Little Joy for Nintendo in the UK
Maybe it would help if Nintendo of Europe had a proper sale. In fact, what on earth is the point in NoE, they don't seem to do much at all?
Re: Nintendo of Europe's eShop Cyber Deals End With a Bang on Wii U and 3DS
Xenoblade on the Wii U is a decent enough deal... though apart from that what a pathetic sale from NoE.
Re: Nintendo of Europe Confirms Its Second Batch of eShop Cyber Deals
Latest one is Kirby and Codename Steam for extortionate prices.
Re: Nintendo of Europe Confirms Its Second Batch of eShop Cyber Deals
I'm half expecting today's deals to be 7% off "I love my pony" or the like.
Re: Guide: The Best Black Friday Nintendo Deals in the UK
Donkey Kong Returns and Nes Remix £20.99 each are today's deals, Nintendo really are living in a different world.
Re: Nintendo of Europe Launches Its Cyber Deals Weekend With Four Major eShop Discounts
NoE frequently treat us with utter contempt, so I'm not shocked.
Re: Official Nintendo UK Store Launches 3DS Hardware and Merchandise Price Drops
Let's hope the eShop stuff is better than this.....
Re: Etrian Odyssey Untold: The Millennium Girl is Currently a Bargain in North America
Thanks Nintendo for your stupid region lock.
Re: Nintendo Download: 19th November (Europe)
An awful selection this week for the 3DS. I'm getting used to it by now though, Nintendo seem to have an aversion to actually wanting to make money.
Re: There's a New Update Incoming for Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition
I loved this game, sadly European players were treated disgracefully by Nintendo.
Re: The Pokémon Company Sues Fan for Copyright Infringement, Demands $4,000 in Damages
What do they gain from ruining this persons life? At the very least allow the payment plan..... Far too heavy handed this.
Re: Nintendo Download: 1st October (Europe)
Mostly rubbish as per usual.
Re: Next Sega 3D Classics Retail Collection Includes Cult Arcade Racer Power Drift
Power drift would be amazing, I loved that game.
Re: Amazon Now Offering Nintendo Games For Direct Digital Download
Alas, region locking exists, otherwise would have been nice to use this.

Re: 3DS Homebrew Hacker Turns to YouTube App As Latest Workaround for 'Tubehax'
The software is owned by the person who purchased it - the EULA changes nothing.

Re: 3DS Homebrew Hacker Turns to YouTube App As Latest Workaround for 'Tubehax'
Can't wait, finally get me some region free gaming.
Re: Chris Prangar, Nintendo Treehouse Staffer Who Recently Spoke About His Work, Confirms He's Been Fired
Nintendo are not noted for their nice business practices. I hope he manages to get another decent job.
Re: Awesome Mario Kart Trophies Are Now Up for Grabs on Club Nintendo in Europe and Australia
Game selection was much better - that is all I care about. To be honest I was thinking fair enough until I got to the end, bit of a low blow that.
Re: Awesome Mario Kart Trophies Are Now Up for Grabs on Club Nintendo in Europe and Australia
North America had much better rewards anyway, the European one in comparison is much worse.
Re: IRONHAX to Use Free-to-Play IRONFALL Invasion to Run 3DS Homebrew and Region-Free Workaround
I'll use this for playing out of region games - though obviously will only work for retail game releases.
Re: Nintendo Download: 6th August (Europe)
I love the fact the US tend to get sales on the likes of Atlus games and in EU we get this load of rubbish.
