Rev up those importing fingers!
According to Nintendo the Wii will not be region specific like so many other systems, thus allowing for people to import games without fear of it not working on their system.
They will allow for the developers to determine if they want to regionally encode the games they are making, so unless the dev's feel like being mean yay!
Time to export all sorts of Japanese zaniness!
Unfortunately Nintendo also released the information that the Wii will no longer support DVD playback. The reasoning behind this was that Nintendo didn't want to increase the costs for the players.
So while I can't rely on the Wii to play my DVD's it does just about everything else I want in a video game system. Namely, play cool new exciting games, and play my old favorites, as well as imported games that fit a niche audience that I fall into that everyone else in the US does not.
