Well, I posted the link over on GF where someone was asking about SMTIV coming to EUR. One person said they signed, so I'm officially a carrier.

By the way. Miiverse is not only meant as a selling point for the console, but also to communicate with the customers. I don't think it's upsetting for a company to be told what customers want.

Made a post of this on a Dutch forum. Hopefully the news site associated with it will pick it up.
One guy on that forum posted this on MiiVerse (don't know if it has been posted already):

I think the movement is spreading to folks that just tend to hang on Miiverse. All those top posts on the E3 2013 community matter!

Thanks for taking the time with compiling these region lock posts.

Not yet, but I did my part and put a "region free" question in the USGamer queue for their interview with Nintendo higher ups on Thursday. Maybe we'll get lucky.

Even that is wildly optimistic.

Seeing how the Nintendo Investor Meeting is this week, we'll see if Nintendo says anything. Hopefully an investor asks.

I see...
Well, I'm expecting a big fat "lol no" anyway but keep the good work, guys.
Has worked before.

If they already see the demand on Miiverse and Twitter than it can help, they have announced tons of new info at Investor Meetings before, heck they even announced NSMB2 at an investor Meeting as well as Nintendo Network.

Because those are things investors might be interested in. Region lock is not a detail they care about.

A small group of fans would be INSANELY happy if Nindendo went region free. But it's not going to impact Nintendos finances enough to warrant mention at an investor meeting.

I want this to happen so much, but the majority of gamers don't import games or care.

Still, you have my support.

So many awesome posts. Shame I can't Yeah them, since I don't have a NNID. Still, I'm totallly rooting for this, and will convince some people that I know that have a Wii U to chip in.

I would imagine it would be. As far as I understand it, getting rid of region lock means that Nintendo will make less money off of importers possibly buying new Nintendo systems when moving to a new region in order to play those games. I don't know how much of a financial impact this might be, but I imagine that would be one of the reasons to have region lock in the first place.

You guys are better off petitioning for New Waluigi U bros or Nintendoland 2 with no online.

Nintendo does what Nintendo wants. And, you don't agree you better butt off!!! Thought you knew this from the SNES days.

There is NO WAY Nintendo will go region free. They don't even give a damn about what their competition is doing so I suggest you don't even bring Xbone/PS4 up.

But Operation Rainfall had a clear effect. All three games came to America. This would be more difficult, and there isn't a great chance Nintendo will listen, but it's worth a shot. The worst that can happen is that we wasted some effort making Miiverse and Twitter posts.

Nintendo makes money off the games, not their systems. Wii was an anomaly. And one could argue that forcing people to buy multiple systems is robbing them of money that could be spent on software. Not all multi-region gamers have unlimited gaming budgets.

Any new press sites picking up news of this campaign? For my part, I can try to contact some italian sites even though I don't follow them too much,

If well known sources such as Eurogamer start writing articles about it, there would be a great visibility boost which is what we need to make it sound as impactful as possible. They had talked about the Wii U VC 50hz fiasco, as well.

Just gave a bunch the yeah. They seem to at least acknowledge Miiverse, so it can't do any harm. It's certainly better than coming in here just to say it won't work.

Remember everyone, popular posts isn't just determined by Yeah's, it's also determined by comments on the thread. If we want to keep some of these threads on top, then you can continue to assist by boosting it with comments. Be sure to not just bump either. Say something meaningful (and preferably not the same thing you already said in that thread).
