Most likely, or until Datel comes out with a freeloader or the Wii is hacked in some way (modchip/replacment firmware)

Wii officially Region Locked

Nintendo of America has confirmed that the Wii will be region locked for both first and third party games. Nintendo issued a statement saying ?Wii will be region locked by territory?.

The whole issue started when Nintendo?s genius Perrin Kaplan made up the fact that the Wii will be region free, and then a Nintendo UK representative said Kaplan was wrong. At least now it?s official; you shouldn?t pre-order your Wii (or games) from other territories

thats gotta be a turnoff to some. i like the region-free idea because there were a few japanese games with english text for the ps2 i wanted.

But they all do sort of the same thing, and that is rearrange what you thought was real, and they remind you of the beauty of very simple things. You forget, because youre so busy going from a to z, that theres 24 letters in between... You turn on... tune in... and you drop out...
