DSi-specific content will be region-locked

Joystiq is reporting on the disappointing news that any content built specifically for the Nintendo DSi will indeed be region-locked, so as to better control all the fantastic Japanese goodies they never release to the other regions. This should have no affect current DS games played on a DSi.

Giant walls of region-specific rewards, FTL!

Front page, man, front page.

Yeah, I saw that right after I posted this.

I'd say "sorry, just delete this", but I'm not prepared for the aftermath.

Depends. It could be rather "Magical"

Wow, on top of the reduced battery life, this is yet another deal breaker.
