Wii Region Locked After All?

15 Sep

Posted by Darren Stevens as Business, Wii

world Yesterday Nintendo’s Perrin Kaplan said the Wii will be region free, at least the 1st party games, and that 3rd party developers had the chance to turn it on. Now Nintendo UK is saying Kaplan made a mistake. Speaking to GamesIndustry.biz after the European event, a Nintendo representative said “We are region-locked”, but didn’t mention anything about first party games.

What she said is that the Wii itself is region-locked, not the First-Party games(As Perrin Kaplan said).

[...] This is a fairly good deal for $250 - they even include the batteries. It’s a shame that games won’t be region free, it’ll lack DVD playback, and the web browser is not free. Then again, I won’t be online with it most of the time, so I can’t take full advantage of the free online service. [...]
