Yeah. It's going to co-exist along with the 3DS and Wii U. Which means that it isn't replacing either of them.

Sorry to bump this topic, but Iwata has stated that Nintendo is thinking internally about what steps need to be taken to make NX region-free and see if they actually can. As for lifting the region-lock for the current systems (Wii U, any 3DS model), the president is quick to point out it's unrealistic.

C'mon, make this happen as I'm tired having to lug two systems with me just to play both American and Japan library of games!

If they released everything worldwide it wouldn't matter. If they do that then I'd believe they want to work towards region free games. While there are still so many split release datas on region though, the lock will stay I'm sure.

Also region free is fine and all, but what would it mean for any indie developers wanting to utilise the console? Are they expected to translate everything? Or keep it in the languages they chose and have it available to everyone even if they don't understand it or have a keyboard system in place to allow them to search for it on any e-shop equivalent.

I'd be surprised if they figure out a way to completely abolish the region-lock. The more probable route for them is to do what Sony did starting with PSP/PS3: letting developers to decide per game basis if they want to region-lock their game or not, rather than the company forcing a "permanent" region-lock based on the system's region.

This is actually just a rumor so either read your sources properly or stop trying to cause an outcry.
