You Asked, Reggie Answered: Region Lock and MP3s for DSi
October 2, 2008 | 6:31 PM PST
First up came a question regarding region locks on the Nintendo DSi handhelds. And Reggie's answer? "To be honest I dont know for sure, I will look into it." He added that he thinks that the device will be region locked, purely on the fact that the downloads for the system are region based.
Man, I am going to be so damn disappointed if I can't play my copy of Tingle's Balloon Fight on there. Especially after the trouble I went to to get it!
Nintendo has said they will look into it for us, so we'll keep on it sometime in the coming weeks.
Another question was a simple one: The DSi can play music, so can it play MP3s? And the answer is "no, it plays the AAC format. It's an easy conversion."
That may be true, but let's face it, MP3s have the run of society; are people going to be eager to have to switch their music before loading it to the DSi?
And there you have it. But wait! There's still another day left of Nintendo's 2008 Fall Summit, and that's another day we can ask questions! So if you have something you want asked, then head on over to our special thread and leave a comment. Our own Sean O'Neill will be keeping tabs on it, and he'll get what he can answered.
