As the Wii Animal Crossing is still in early development I guess you are meaning the Gamecube Animal Crossing? That was released in the UK - I bought it, even came with a free memory card!
(It was released a year or two after the US and Japan versions, and a lot of people did import the Australian version (as that was PAL) before Nintendo finally saw sense and released it in the UK!) Last edited by wrathamon; 05-08-2007 at 04:49 PM.. |

I didnt keep my Gamecube for long. I had read all about animal crossing before i got it and that was the game i wanted. And when i got my gamecube and found it was japan and usa only, i kept it for around 2 months and sold it. But i thought the only animal crossing that was out over here was the DS.

Re: Wii, Region free?
sorry...dumb question...and possibly wrong tread:
Would selling modded Wii's be illegal? I mean just offering the modded hardware but not the software. If so, why? |

Re: Wii, Region free?
Dunno about illegal but you will have voided the warranty from nintendo.
Modding the box probably isnt illegal played the copied games the mod allows you is.

Re: Wii, Region free?
Depends where you live, it is illegal in a lot of countries including the UK and US, Nintendo UK had a post on their website but the site is down for upgrade, I found this article about it:
Nintendo Issues Mod Chip Warning : Next Generation - Interactive Entertainment Today, Video Game and Industry News - Home of Edge Online I have read of people being prosecuted for selling mod chips and modded consoles, these were for the PS2 and xbox but the same would apply for the Wii. Do a search in google and you will be able to find the storys. Last edited by Parp; 04-12-2007 at 11:53 AM.. |

Re: Wii, Region free?
yup, I'd get an American one and just import the software, most of the time even with postage it's still cheaper than the UK price.
