Japan Gaming Guide

Import gamers rejoice! The long-rumoured Freeloader for Wii may be nearing release, according to WiiFanboy. The original Freeloader was a fantastic piece of Gamecube software that removed the irritating region protection from games. The new rumours are based on a (EDIT: now defunct) listing on an Italian import site.

This software is perfect for those outside Japan that don’t want to wait for major titles to be released in their region. It will also be a godsend for Japan based gamers wanting to play the English language versions of their favourite games.

One thing to bear in mind – the Wii is an online console; if Nintendo wanted to they could probably release a patch preventing this kind of software from working. We really hope that doesn’t happen though, we need to play Super Paper Mario in English! We’ll let you know how well Freeloader works as soon as we get our hands on it.
