Nope, it's region locked. I heard something on these forums about a chip to make the slot light sound active, but nothing gameplay-wise.

PulseVU is the only chip I've heard that has been released for the Wii thus far. I'm keeping my eyes peeled for chips so as soon as my Wii loses its warranty I'm gonna pop one in.

Guys chill, mod chips can't be made until after the system is out. Then people have to completely pick apart the OS to figure out how it works, then developt the chip to modify it. This doesn't include manufacturing time. It takes time. Everyone is getting so impatient with the Wii.

I don't know why some of you guys seem to be complaining about spending 50 for some games...

You make it sound like you want a modchip for copies or something. Now for playing games that are locked and aren't ever gonna be available around here, I understand that as long as you pay for it.

I intend to get a freeloader type or something if they should ever come out and some of the japanese anime games dont come over here.

Because companies regardless of the fact if they have millions of dollars rely on income?

For example if everyone didn't pay for Zelda, Nintendo would see no profit from it, and thus no reason why to continue the franchaise. Companies use the sales to determine if they make more of a certain game. They aren't going to keep making crappy games for nothing.

Plus if a game is really bad, there are tons of places where you can use it for trade in credit, or for a large portion of your money back.
