Wii Update Kills GC Freeloader

[Angelic Lapras King]

From what I understand, thanks to the firmware update yesterday, the Wii will no longer play the Freeloader that lets you play your import GC Games on your Wii.

Oh boy.... o.o

Just get an original Game Cube, they're selling them for $30 each at Game Stop.

What do you mean? Could the PAL wii play NTSC GC games? Or in Australia, will my UK Ikaruga and Zelda collection no longer work? I will seriously stab some face if this is the case.

Oh wait... was this that freeloader disc thats lets you load NTSC on PAL. Slaps forehead

I think he was talking about how there's no firmware updates for the GameCube so a freeloader for that wont stop working. The GC was region locked.

Exactly. Besides, who doesn't love the original Game Cube?

Another good reason to keep my Gamecube, then.

Eh, are there any good imports (serious question) for the Gamecube?

If you like anime in their original language then importing the games from Japan may be your only option as most games only include the English Language option or are never released here at all. A great example would be Naruto: Gekitou Ninja Taisen 4. (or in the US, the never released Naruto: Clash of Ninja 4). Instead of releasing that game with a Japanese option, they melted Ninja Taisen 3, 4, & EX into one game: Narto: Clash of Ninja Revolution. Needless to say, I was dissapointed by that move. (although I am intrigued by Revolution 2, which includes original characters)

I can't think of too much stuff I would import offhand, no. I guess the two biggest reasons for my to keep my Gamecube would be the ability to use my action replay and my gameboy player.
