Introducing the Wii FreeLoader

Play any game from any region on your Wii

Ever got the grumps because a game you want has been released in another territory way before you can get your mitts on it?

Well - that all ends now with the release of the completely unofficial but very exciting Wii FreeLoader.

This disc lets you play any region of Wii or GameCube game on your Nintendo Wii, which means you'll never have to wait again.

All you have to do is load up the FreeLoader disc, when the drive stops, eject it and insert the game, which then loads and plays just like it would on its own region of Wii.

Easy eh.

As well as letting you play Wii games from all regions, Wii FreeLoader also works with imported GameCube games when played on your Wii.

It won’t work in a GameCube console, though – for that, you need FreeLoader for GameCube, which is also available now.

FreeLoader doesn't need any modifications to your console, and it doesn't invalidate the warranty.

And it's just under $20.

Where's the downside?
