Nintendo NX, the next piece of dedicated gaming hardware from the house of Mario, might be region free, according to Nintendo president and CEO Satoru Iwata.

However, don't expect to see the region locks currently in place for Wii U and 3DS to disappear anytime soon. In an Q&A session with investors (as translated by NeoGAF), Iwata explained: Removing region-locking from current game machines presents various issues, so we don't consider that to be very realistic.
