Why does the VRU have a region lock?
It's important to know that you can only use this device with games from the same region.
If you have a Japanese version, you won't be able to use it with the American version of Hey You Pikachu.
Conversely, the US version doesn't support Japanese games.
Make sure you know which version you have before making a purchase.
