Fellow PAL Nintendo Fanboys, Our Time Has Come!

The Wii FreeLoader has been released meaning that we can play imported games on our Wii instead of having to wait millions of days for a local release at marked up prices! w00t! Ever since Nintendo released a firmware update that blocked the GameCube FreeLoader from being used on the Wii, fans have been skeptical about this new Freeloader but rest assured, Datel and CodeJunkies have it all covered!
Local VOOKS editor have phoned CodeJunkies themselves and have uncovered these answers to questions that we all had when news of Wii FreeLoader was announced:

"
I have actually had a LONG conversation with one of the codejunkies technical experts over the phone yesterday, when I ordered freeloader (the phone call at their expense - they called me back!)

This is what freeloader does, confirmed by codejunkies staff, who actually investigated my questions when I asked about it, TESTED it, and then called me back:

• WII FREELOADER IGNORES ALL REGION-CODING.

• WII FREELOADER IGNORES ALL WII UPDATES ON A WII GAME DISK (INCLUDING SUPER SMASH BROS. BRAWL (they have tested).

• WII FREELOADER IGNORES THE NECESSITY OF CHECKING FOR GAME UPDATES; THUS ALLOWING THE GAME FILES TO BE PLAYED SAFELY WITHOUT ANY RISK OF BRICKING YOUR WII CONSOLE.

• CODEJUNKIES STAFF HAVE CONFIRMED TO ME, BY PHONE, THAT IF A WII FIRMWARE UPDATE SOMEHOW BLOCKS THE WII FREELOADER, THEY WILL SEND YOU AN UPDATED WII FREELOADER FREE OF CHARGE WHEN ONE IS CREATED, AS LONG AS YOU HAVE PROOF OF PURCHASE OF YOUR ORIGINAL COPY OF WII FREELOADER.

• JP BRAWL WORKS ONLINE ON BOTH PAL AND NTSC WII CONSOLES"

Now that is reassuring, so everyone go ahead and buy one and screw Nintendo Australia and Europe to ya heart's content.

You may buy from Play-Asia as its the only reliable place shipping to Australia for the time-being.
