Nintendo has ALWAYS been like this. The SNES could easily play games from Japan on the NA console. But Nintendo wouldn't allow it. how? look at a North American SNES cartridge. notice those notches on the bottom? inside the console where you plug the cartridge in you'll see two pegs for where it connects to said cartridge. just little plastic pegs. Japanese Super Famicom carts didn't have this. So how do you play Japanese games on your US SNES? remove those pegs.

you remove those little plastic pegs and suddenly your SNES is region free.
