Also, welcome to the forums, eddie182

To be fair, the people using modded Wiis and pirating games are the ones that probably wouldn't buy the game anyway.

SMG will still sell like crazy.

It's legal to mod Wii's in Australia. I know of someone who mods them and he says he gets 4-5 jobs a week at least and that is one dealer in a small city alone. Not to mention only Australia. Think of all of GBA and USA and JAP.

Thousands of people have modded their Wii's. Look at all the downloads of MP3. There were over 10 000!

Yeah. I will buy the game for sure. It has something like a million pre-orders in japan and US alone? anyone know exactly?

@routsounmanman - thanks, i've actually been using vgchartz all year, just don't get much time to post unless it's important :P

 Critical thinking time. 

You've made two faulty assumptions: That all mods are created equal (not every modchip will allow you to play the pirated SMG) and that everyone who downloaded MP3 knew full well how to play the game they received. Most people are stupid enough to actually download it without knowing that they needed a specific modification to run it. 

Again - non-event. You can stop hyperventilating. 

@ Desroko - 16 000 people downloaded MP3 on demonoid alone.

That's quite significant.

@ Desroko - You're probably right - not all mods can play it and some may not even know that it wont work but modding is still bigger than you make it out to be.

If Ninty had any brains, every demo disc/binary would have a special CRC - which identified *which* demo kiosk this was sent to. I wouldn't expect it - but it wouldn't be impossible either.

As a result, someone may be getting fired - or an outlet sued.

(and its stupid sending the FULL version of the game to demo kiosks - can't be that hard to create a cut-down version of it, can it??)
