Product Description

Videogamers of the world get really frustrated when games are released in other territories long before they reach the shops in their home country, if they ever get released at all. You want to play that blockbuster survival horror which is out in Japan three months before it hits the shelves elsewhere. Or maybe you bought an imported Wii because you wanted to get it early, and you now want to play games from your own region without buying a second machine. Wii FreeLoader lets you play ANY region of Wii game on a US Nintendo Wii. At last, you can import games from other territories and play them on your Wii. Wii FreeLoader is really easy to use. Simply insert your FreeLoader disc and load it in the usual way. When the drive stops, eject the Wii FreeLoader disc and insert the game, which then loads and plays just like it would on its own region of Wii. Wii FreeLoader requires no modifications to your console. As well as letting you play Wii games from all regions, Wii FreeLoader also works with some imported Gamecube games when played on your Wii.

This review is from: Datel DUS0264-I Nintendo Wii Free Loader (Video Game)

I have not bought this because I found that it will only work with the Wii firmware version 3.2 and below(the current version being 3.4 at the time of this review). Datel even quit making this and has not tried to make an updated version to compensate for the firmware updates. I was considering this as a solution to get Tatsunoko vs. Capcom working on my US Wii but after doing lots of research this is what I discovered. Right now I'm considering another solution that involves a hack called "The Homebrew Channel" and an application for that hack called "Gecko OS" to use for a freeloader.

It is no compatible with Naruto EX, however, it is compatible with Naruto EX 2. Don't forget, once you use the freeloader, use it will ALL games, not just imports.

My son has enjoyed using this product to play Japanese games on his Wii. He has had a lot of fun with the one game he has and is looking forward to getting more for Christmas. He really gets a kick out of playing games not to be released in the US for ages!
