Freeloader program broken by Mario Kart

It looks like the Freeloader program (designed to let you play Wii games from other regions) is defeated by Mario Kart.

More info here: http://kotaku.com/377176/your-freelo...-on-mario-kart

I wonder how long before Nintendo implements this into a regular Wii update that breaks it for all games?

CAN NINTENDO JUST **** OFF FOR ONCE AND GET THEIR PRIORITIES STRAIGHT!?

I'm sick of them trying to ruin if for us. They're not losing anything by it so why not just back off! And start getting your online and all that other crap straightened out first before you screw everyone around. If they put this into a regular update, I'm personally flying to Japan and smashing Iwata in his big flat face.

I know this may only be a one of but if it's not and it goes further than this, it just shows that they don't care.

It looks like Mario Kart Wii works on the Freeloader after all (as long as the firmware is current)

Easily said about a game being released within such a close time. What about Brawl? Much different in that case.

Go piss off and have a chardonnay, it's easier for you to say. Australia's been ditched too many times to just take it and leave it. PES 08, no online. MOHH2 again no online. Other games will never even reach here.

Im an australian and i dont care!
the dude that said wait and buy it in ur own region is absolutely right. stop bitching! Shit. Australia isn't getting "screwed" at all - we are getting plenty of releases at similar times to overseas - sometimes it takes a little while longer but its nothing like it used to be.
and u dont need to insult people for having an opinion.

Apparently if you have firmware 3.1E it works...

I've never felt the urge to buy an import, but say you were a huge fan of Brawl, in the UK we're having to wait a quarter of a year after the US got it - there can't be any language specific hold-ups, so why the delay?

And it's £8 cheaper!
