Wii to be Region Free

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Thursday September 14, 2006 @06:45AM from the wiiiiii dept.

Chris Kohler is making it a point to single out the fact that, like its cousin the DS, the Wii is to be Region-free. They also discuss how Virtual Console titles will associated with a console owner, and some details on the Opera browser. From the article: "Like the Nintendo DS, the Wii will be able to play games from other regions, such as Japan, without any restriction. Kaplan implied there might be a region lock that publishers would be able to flip on, but it doesn't sound like the first-party titles from Nintendo will be restricted."

250 Dollars.. Only one controller. Shit I can't play games with my son for less than $310 dollars. I wanted one bad. I've been following it for months. But now I am out. $250 with two controllers? Sure. Maybe, if I could have got it past my wife. $310? She'll never OK it. I'm out Nintendo. Got it? You failed.
