Regions wept
To the surprise of absolutely no one, Wii U is a region locked console. This information comes via a translated tweet from well known Japanese gaming magazine Famitsu.
"What can be played on the Wii U is restricted by a region-lock feature; software not sold in the same region cannot be played." - @Cheesemeister3k
Region locking has been a thorn in gamers' sides on nearly all of Nintendo's consoles, the only exceptions being the Game Boy and DS handhelds.

This isn't the best of news, but we all saw it coming. Maybe one day we'll see the end of region locking, but evidently not today.
