 Wii Region Free??? Whats is the deal on the Wii? I find so much conflicting info about it being region free. My wife and I bought one yesterday and I was wondering if I could play some US games or not, we are in Japan so I would have to play the Japanese releases but my kanji reading is terrible! Any help appreciated!

Re: Wii Region Free??? If you download the Homebrew app (onto an sd card) and install it, you can play any wii game region-free. You need to rent Zelda Twilight Princess in order to do the install though- long story. Pretty easy stuff moreorless. Though you have to re-install after a system update, though I have only had to do it once in the past year or so. I use it to play Tatsunoko vs. Capcom.

Re: Wii Region Free??? This is especially cool as the Wii now comes in black in Japan.
I'll leave the white stuff to the folks at Apple.
Noice.
