I noticed no mention of piracy, main use of homebrew.

Well speaking of that stuff on VGC can get the thread locked/ban. So I thought it be best to avoid.

But I don't speak a lick of Japanese (assuming "Domo Arigato, Mr. Roboto" doesn't count).

Yea bus still.XD

Im just messing with you. Though with HBC your release date is EU release date.;P

@Aiemond
Theres other things you can do too. I just mentioned my reasons. Dont understand why you wouldnt wanna import early games though. I also cant read Japanese doesnt stop me from playing them.

Because I don't find it fun having to look up/print out a walkthrough to see what the characters are saying. With fighting games, I can understand, but with RPGs, I could not do it. I waited for mother 3 to get translated before I played it, and I am a BIIIG Mother fan.

Im playing Soul Eater with none of that stuff.......Im doing fine so far. And yea I'll mainly import fighting/anime games from Japan.

Bricking, laziness, and cheating nancy-boys are good reasons. I'd also add that storage is a precious, precious commodity on my Wii.

Everything is stored on SD not Wii system memory. They also support SDHC SD cards. As for cheating I dont get it....

Aren't there any problems with system updates and thus access to the Wii Shop Channel?

System updates do disable HBC but you simply have to turn of WC24 or not accept the updaters.

As for the Wii Shop Channel they always release patches/fixes so you can get all the latest updates without having to update your system. Im still able to shop/download games of the Shop Channel. Even the Mii channel has work arounds.

Sounds like way too many problems for negligible gains.

Rol has summed up my entire attitude, here.
