I do know that both the console and the game have to be bought in the same region to work but, regarding to online features, what would happen if I buy both Console and games in a region but play in multiplayer in another region? Would it detect a different IP and block the online features?
This question was "born" because I read news/rumors (not completely sure) about Nintendo sending an "update" to brick suspicious consoles, I'm almost completely sure that they can detect whatever a game is original or not but, considering that they consider impossible that a person may travel to multiple regions and buy games there, it leaves me a small doubt on whatever they may block access to internet if I'm in a different region compared to where I bought both games and console or, even worse, brick my console thinking I'm pirating it or something.
It may seem like a stupid question but it's really the first time (believe it or not!) that I have to deal with Region-locks.
