Re: Headlines - Nintendo crackdown on Wii imports. Goodbye Freeloader!
great i just spent a fortune on a freeloader and a playasia import of smash bros for my sons 8th birthday. He wanted it for christmas and didnt get it and i couldnt let him down again on his birthday. Now if my wii gets updated he cant play his favourite game.
Keep acting like this and ninty wont get a penny more of my money.
can they force us to take an update or make it so we cant play new games without it, im pretty sure mario galaxy had a manditory one?

Another reason to get Wii chipped... Apparently its easy to do now, there are solderless chips... Why does nintendo do this?
Re: Headlines - Nintendo crackdown on Wii imports. Goodbye Freeloader!
Careful people... talk of cracking/chipping Wiis won't be tolerated.
Feel free to vent over this lockdown but keep it legal. :)

So am I allowed to make a how to chip my Wii thread on the forums now? :p
Only joking
Re: Headlines - Nintendo crackdown on Wii imports. Goodbye Freeloader!
I don't know much about Freeloader. Was Wii Freeloader legal?
Re: Headlines - Nintendo crackdown on Wii imports. Goodbye Freeloader!
sure. released by datel.
but it did ZOMG naughty things like threatening nintendo-of-europe's £40 per game policy
Re: Headlines - Nintendo crackdown on Wii imports. Goodbye Freeloader!
it also threatened their, lets give the european market the game 6 months later policy.
if we hadnt been shafted by nintendo europe for the last 15 years there wouldnt be any need for freeloaders to play imports

What I meant was, talk of modding/cracking/chipping for pirating purposes is what we won't allow.
Sorry bud. :)
Re: Headlines - Nintendo crackdown on Wii imports. Goodbye Freeloader!
Presumably importing authentic games is 100% legal, or the WTO would have a benny?
Re: Headlines - Nintendo crackdown on Wii imports. Goodbye Freeloader!
at this point i feel it neccessary to praise sony, for not including region-protection in games on the ps3
and smaller props to he 360, where it's optional

And Nintendo had the sense to make the DS region-free, so why the Wii?
