Did Xenoblade push you to mod your Wii?

I haven't tried too much, but the few times I've attempted it so far it hasn't seemed to pick up a connection so far, it just keeps searching. So I'm not sure if it just doesn't work in general or if it simply takes awhile to connect because of the distance/lack of players. I should probably try some more though, Zangeki online would be really sweet. I'm sure there's some way to make it work but I haven't figured it out yet.

Not too sure about imports either, as I haven't really been using the homebrew for that long (at least for playing actual Wii games), and the games I have downloaded have been US besides Zangeki. But the ones that look good to me and will probably check out are Xenoblade, Fatal Frame 4, Disaster, and Captain Rainbow.

Fatal Frame 4 is one I'm looking out for because of the translation, as is Captain Rainbow (I hope they finish the translation on that one as well).

I may get Zangeki, have to see what it's going for. May I recommend NPC Pikmin 2 if you haven't played it on GC already? Such an excellently executed game!

I'll probably check out Pikmin 2 at some point. I had a lot of fun with the first one on the Cube. So does the Wii controls work well for it? Seems like it would be a great fit. Also how is Xenoblade? worth the hype? I heard it doesn't really use motion controls which was kind of a buzzkill, but still looks like a solid game regardless. Plus Wii is starving for an RPG like this with some depth.

Oh, and I missed your question regarding the worth of Zangeki.. So I've seen it running at upwards of $70 to buy the import, which to me is definitly not worth it, epecially considering the risk of it not working because of region lock. Apparently there are some loaders like Gecko os that allow for region free games, but I wouldn't take the risk.  I'd jsay ust try to download and play it using usb loader or something if you have the means.
