Charlie Posted July 26, 2006 Posted July 26, 2006 The question: The DS has been an overwhelming success. Are you looking into using the same fundamentals — like, for instance, its region-free standard — for Wii? Perrin Kaplan: Clearly, the success of Nintendo DS has offered a lot of lessons about what works in the marketplace — and we certainly intend to keep our fans satisfied. For the Wii system, we are finalizing all the relevant details and will be making announcements in the coming months. We know that isn’t what you all want to hear (or read) but at least we are being honest! We will share a lot of ways people can play globally, regionally, without boundaries. You’re right that the region-free approach has proved to be a successful and attractive feature for Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection on Nintendo DS — we have even blown the doors off our own anticipated numbers! Cost, ease-of-use and player privacy are the three things that were a focus for us with Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. Those priorities also will apply to the Wii system. http://wii.ign.com/articles/720/720991p1.html What do you think? I hope it is region free so we can get american games early...
mcj metroid Posted July 26, 2006 Posted July 26, 2006 it sounds like a piracy threat.Especially if the wii uses normall dvd's.I'd love it to be region-free but nintendo hates piracy more than anything else so i doubt it
ShadowV7 Posted July 26, 2006 Posted July 26, 2006 Beat you to it here The answers pretty vague though,could be taking about Wi-fi will be the same as the DS.
