Nintendo's president hints at an end to region-locking

Nintendo's Wii U and 3DS are the last of the current platforms to be region-locked, causing plenty of frustration for Western fans of titles that haven't or won't see release in their markets. In a Q&A with investors, according to a translation, company president Satoru Iwata indicated a willingness to rethinking the policy. To be sure, according to the translation (via Zelda Informer), Iwata lays some of the decision to region-lock at the feet of publishers.
