Rumour suggests New Nintendo 3DS is region free

Take it with a pinch of salt until it's officially confirmed.

Twitter user NiNTENDOMiNATiON tweeted "RUMOR!!! An Alien told me that there is a possibility, that the NEW Nintendo 3DS won't have Region Locking" last night, something that would really be a big gift to Nintendo gamers the world over. The New Nintendo 3DS was announced on Friday and we have yet to hear from Nintendo regarding this potential feature, so take this proclamation with a hefty pinch of salt for the time being.
