Ah, too bad, this is the least accessible server for international players on account of Nintendo's region locked software.  Well, if I ever get a Japanese 3DS or Wii U (or a method of bypassing region locking is released), then I'll try to participate.

The xbox one version isn't region locked

[Kiyobi]

But the event is on WiiU/3DS.

And this thread is literally a year old.
