Nintendo had recently announced the launch of the DSi with lot of hype. The handheld gaming console, which features two cameras and enhanced audio feature created a craze among the users. 

But now, the company has officially announced something, which will definitely disappoint some of the readers. Reportedly, it has been learnt that Nintendo DSi will be region specific or region locked. That means people who are having European DSi won't be able to play any games from other regions and vice versa. 

“DSi software (software that is only compatible with DSi) is region locked, eg: European DSi software can only be played on European DSi consoles,” informed a spokesperson from Nintendo. 

However, there was clarification on the Nintendo DS software, which the company said would be region free. Moreover, Nintendo DSi from any region is capable of playing any DS software. 

But the news of the DSi being region-locked has seriously confused many users and let us hope that Nintendo clarifies this confusion of the users soon enough.
