Age ratings the reasons for DSiWare region lock

Region lock these days is such a dirty word, but Nintendo UK spokesperson, David Yarnton has seen opportunity to comment on the region locking of DSiWare, because, you know, we need salt added to that already festering wound. “”There are many different age requirements with games around the worlds,”” comments Yarnton, who continues “”…as an industry, we are trying to take a responsible stance in that area, to make sure that we have people aware of what content they get, and that there is a certain amount of protection.”” FYI: For those panicking about the DSi being region locked, it’s ONLY the DSiWare titles that will be region locked, not the game cards themselves.
