Wasn't it mostly to protect retailers in Japan, who feared customers would just import cheaper copies from abroad?

Not just Japan, but yes that's the basic idea. If you want to supply the same product to multiple countries with different levels of purchasing power, you have to somehow prevent consumers and retailers in places where the product is more expensive from importing it from where it's less expensive. Region locking is a simple but rather effective method of doing that. Look up "Price Discrimination".

Runbow Release Date announced! Runbow is coming out on August 27th (in NA) for $15. $12.75 if you downloaded the demo. It was the only game from Nindie @ Home I was really interested in, so looks cool.

I thought Club Nintendo had died, but here is Europe getting amazing things for astronomical amounts of Stars in TMOOL August of TYOOL 2015.

Pandora's Tower is the only Operation Rainfall game I haven't played so I'm looking forward to buying a game I won't actually play for months!

How much space does Pandora's Tower take up? I might finally just go for it and get an external hard drive for my wiiu if we're going to get this and maybe xenoblade and the last story to.

NA dudes, Woah Dave! hits Wii U next week (August 20) and it'll have cross-buy with the 3DS version. Also worth noting: Mario Maker is up for pre-load.

speaking of pandora's tower I hear that because of the chain thing the game plays better with miimote and nunchuk than with something like the CC

Why is it the games that supported the classic controller were the ones where you'd prefer the Wiimote anyway, and the games that didn't support it were the ones where you would want it.

I really wish they'd go back and make the first few Wii downloadable games able to use the gamepad buttons. I'd buy Mario Galaxy 2 and Punch Out if I could use those buttons.

Has anyone actually played Bombing Bastards? I could go for a good Bomberman clone if it's good, since the real deal is apparently finished or in some sort of licensing limbo.

The problem is that in order to offer alternate controls on Wii classics, in most cases they'd have to reprogram those games. That's a bigger undertaking than just digitally repackaging the original ISO, which is what they're doing now. The reason Pandora's Tower and Xenoblade work with the Gamepad is because they supported the Classic Controller, which has an equivalent button layout. So it's just a matter of getting the Gamepad to spoof that. Would it be possible to have the Gamepad spoof a Wiimote/Nunchuk in the same way? Most certainly, but it'd be awkward for games that use the pointer, and it wouldn't work at all for games that involve moving the Wiimote/Nunchuk independently.

Problematic news for Pandora Tower:quote:They (XSEED) are listed as the publisher on the eShop and their logo's in the game. So you can expect to see reports of crashing soon.
