This is interesting. The obvious question, to me, is if this also applies to playing PS1 and PS2 games on the system. I have often considered buying a mod chip, but the main issue there has always been concern over how long before games with security features in them are designed to not work any more, and then the chip is only good for games made before that technology. As such, I've only done the physical mods, like on the SNES and N64, the ones that only use cartridge shape as a protection scheme.

Umm...okay.

Not a big deal to me. I don't import games, nor have I any plans to.

The whole I DONT UNDERSTAND JAPANESE thing would probably kill the fun factor.

There are actually a good number of import games where that doesn't really matter... or where it's easy to ignore... arcade ports, arcade style games, etc...

Also, this presumably means European too; yeah, there are few games that come out just in Europe, but there is the occasional one.

Great news... I wish Nintendo would follow them, but I don't expect them to. I don't have any import games, but that's not for lack of wanting them... it's just for the expense factor...
