Wii Freeloader to be released on June 30

Posted Jun 10, 2007 at 12:20AM EST by QJ Staff

Listed in: Wii Tags: Datel, Freeloader
Ó

Wii Freeloader - Image 1Wii fans hoping to play import games, you have a reason to rejoice: Italian online store You Too has Datel's Wii Freeloaders in stock, purportedly for a June 30 release date. Datel's Freeloader lets consoles ignore region locks, which essentially lets you play any game regardless of its region.


Wii being region-locked has always been a source of disappointment for many a Wii fan who prefers quirky games in his library - many Japanese games are known to be too strange to be published locally in North America.

# Will Nintendo kill it?Guest 2007-06-10 04:32
I have an older version of Freeloader that only works on the GC. The only reason I havn't bought an updated version that works on the Wii is this: Can't Nintendo just send an update and kill the ability to use Freeloader? I'm kinda concerned about putting out $20+ for Freeloader then the $30-$50 for an import game, just to have Nintendo kill it within a few months, and then be forced to buy an updated Freeloader, only to wait for Nintendo to kill it... etc...

Not that Im doubting the release of this thing, but that image is a TERRIBLY Photoshopped image... Jagged lines in the circle, the text is completely out of perspective...



Hmmmmm, still hope it's true. You think this thing might allow circumventing copyright protecion...?

This product is already out, it allows you to play other region games for the GAMECUBE on your WII. Read the box, it's written on it. You can buy this at play-asia already.

Um, everyone, calm down and listen to Hellfenix. It's just a rebranded version of the old Freeloader. It doesn't work with Wii games.

# Is it a dedicated Wii Freeloader?gimpymoo12 2007-06-12 00:50
At first, I thought this was "THE" Freloader for the Wii, however after looking at the package shot on the youtoo site, im more inclined to think this is simply a re-branded Gamecube Freeloader.



"Both action replay for gamecube and freeloader work on a Wii in gamecube mode"



Appears to be a bad translation but appears to read to me like:



"Both the Action Replay and Freeloader Work on a Wii in gamecube mode"



It took them a while to release the Gamecube freeloader so would be surprised if this one was released so soon after the Wii's launch.



I hope im wrong though.

# Is this a hoax?Guest 2007-06-13 06:38
I'm guessing this is a hoax, because its says its coming on the 30th of June they say you can buy it at play-asia, but it appears thats nothing but a load of BS!!!!!!

# Lets WaitGuest 2007-06-15 04:09
lets wait 15 more days to see if the wii freeloader is even true



P.S.

why did they make another GC Freeloader if they already made one, oh and don't tell because it just works with the Wii I need another reason

# PostponedGuest 2007-06-18 11:38
You Too has confirmed that the Freeloader has been postponed and that it is near completion. They've also been kind enough to translate the product description into English, which says that "it hasn't been confirmed if this will work with Game Cube games." So their translation and the fact that the Freeloader's release is being postponed leads me to believe that this will actually be a Freeloader for Wii games. Here's a link:

# ReleaseGuest 2007-06-18 13:38
OK Tenshin your saying that the wii freeloader will be released by the 30th of June and that this freeloader will enable you to play Japanese Wii games on the American Wii?



P.S.

Is the release date right? please let me know.

# Probably not his monthGuest 2007-06-21 16:04
I'm willing to bet that this will be the Freeloader that will allow us to play Japanese Wii games. But as stated in my last post, its release has been postponed. It being postponed may actually be a good thing because that may confirm that this is a new product and not just another repackaging. I'll continue to follow this and I'll keep you posted.

# WhoopsGuest 2007-06-21 16:06
Sorry, I forgot to mention that You Too's source said that the Freeloader will probably be done before August; since it is near completion.

# Not really...Guest 2007-06-25 13:31
Datel is making a version that works for WII games, and it's supposed to come out soon. I don't know if it comes out june 30th, but if it doesn't, it should come out soon anyways.

actually, if you have a modchip that region unlocks, you don't need a freeloader..

# I've been waiting for the same games.Guest 2007-06-27 05:15
I'm really hoping that the Freeloader will come out before August like they've said. I've had Naruto Gekitou Ninja Taisen EX since the release and it's just been sitting on top of my TV. I don't think this has been mentioned here, so I'll post it. Credit goes to this article: http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/2007/06/04/rumor-wii-freeloader-this-month/



"A NeoGAFfer named radioheadrule83 then contacted Datel's technical department to try to get more information. The Datel rep told him that "Its my understanding that there is a product on the way that will work for Wii games as well, yes" but also that "There's no release date as yet"."



Combine that with the information that we already have and I think it's safe to assume that we'll have a Wii Freeloader soon.

Since DarkShadowYuki continues to find the need to spam, I'm going to repost what I previously said. I feel that this information is relevant so the spam shouldn't obstruct people from seeing it.

# Is YouToo right?Guest 2007-06-27 11:42
Will the Wii Freeloader come out on the 30th of June because I also bought the Naruto game for the Wii and its been laying in my closet for weeks. And I hope that YouToo is right.

# My above postGuest 2007-06-28 08:28
My above post says that You Too's source has stated that the Freeloader has been postponed. They said that it's almost done and that it will probably be out before August.

# I seeGuest 2007-06-29 10:57
ok so then what kind of modchip do you need to play Naruto Shippuuden Gekitou Ninja Taisen EX on a U.S. Wii?

# You're going to have to waitGuest 2007-06-30 12:54
You're just going to have to wait for the Freeloader. None of the mod-chips can play ANY of the Gekitou Ninja Taisen games. It's strange, but this series seems to be unplayable with the mod-chips that are currently available. Just have patience. Like I said before, I've had the game sitting on top of my TV since the release and I'm VERY eager to play it too.

# Well...Guest 2007-06-30 14:06
that really is odd that modchips don't play the Naruto games... do Action Replays play imported games... Because I heard theres one coming at the end of July.

# MaybeGuest 2007-07-02 08:04
Action Replay and the Freeloader are both made by the same company. In the past the Action Replay has come with the Freeloader function, but you can also buy the Freeloader separately if that's all you want. So if the Action Replay is going to have the Freeloader ability this time around, then they may be waiting to release the Freeloader for when the Action Replay is released.

# bleach wiiGuest 2007-07-02 09:35
I've been waiting for a freeloader for the wii so I can get Bleach for the wii. I'm a fan of Naruto too but I think they released a Shippuden game a little to early.

# Bad news...Guest 2007-07-05 08:21
I'm sorry to say this everyone, but that picture and information from Youtoo is fake. I e-mailed Ian Osborn (a representative from Datel) and this is what he replied:



That picture's a fake. We've no more news on Wii FreeLoader than before.



Ian



So it looks like we're back to square one.

So is the whole thing of the Wii Freeloader coming out before Aguast is a bunch of BS?
