It looks like Wii lovers hoping to do even
more with their new console can rest easy, knowing that someone's on
the case. Why? Because we just got word that Datel is working on a
Nintendo Wii version of their Freeloader software.
An article on
Spong mentions that the company is already working on the new software
for Wii consoles. This Wii Freeloader should allow UK Wii owners to
play US titles and hopefully vice-versa. While there's no date of
availability or price yet, we're rooting for them and hope that they
finish it soon.
As most of you might notice on your own handheld
devices, Datel is responsible for a lot of the add-ons we've been using
in consoles today. They make the Action Replay cheat devices, and have
developed a host of third-party devices for use with Nintendo gadgets,
such as a wireless router for the Wii and DS and a "save and transfer"
memory card for the Wii. Hopefully, they'll be speeding up their
research and development facility so we can all enjoy some region-free
goodness soon.
