That's one of the best parts of homebrew
An important note to you all before you dive into the world of Homebrew. Use it responsibly and carefully. There is a small chance of bricking your Wii if you aren't careful. |
This is why I'm scared of modding my Wii. Being able to play Another Code R on a NTSC-U console would be nice. But honestly I'd rather not risk messing with my Wii. I don't want to play the game that badly. I'm quite comfortable with DS and PS2 homebrew but it seems like it's a lot easier to brick a Wii. Especially if you have a recent model console (like myself) and run the latest firmware (which I do. Because I want to be able to play online).
Ideally, Nintendo and Microsoft should abandon region-locking (gives us one less reason to mod). Especially for games that aren't released in your region. For eg. What's the point of region-locking a PAL Another Code R if it's not released in North America? It's not like importing the PAL version steals any sales from the NTSC-U version seeing as how a NTSC-U version doesn't even exist! On the Xbox 360 they give publishers the option to choose to region-lock their games or not. So some 360 games are region-free (I own two region-free Japan-exclusive shmups). But every single Wii game is region-locked. Madness.
