It's been revealed by a spokesman that Big N's new handheld, the DSi, will have some restrictions when it comes to region locking. General DS games will continue to be region-free, but titles specific to the DSi will have locks in place.
"DSi embeds net communication functionality within itself and we are intending to provide net services specifically tailored for individual regions. DSi is region locked".
"Also because we're including parental control functionality for Nintendo DSi and each region has its own age limit set by different independent bodies".
Does this sway your opinion on the DSi at all?
