WHAT!! Did i hear wrongly..!?
My dad told me he was going to buy me a Wii when he goes to Hokkaido, Japan end of the month.
That was pretty damn cool for my dad to say. But what im afraid of is the region code for the games to work on the console, Japan using the NTSC region code, while Singapore uses the NTSC-J regional code.
Now im not very excited about the Wii anymore, even if dad bought me one, i will just stick to those few games he bought along, unless he will be going there soon, i will get more games. That's pretty dumb thing to do and waste more $$ in the process.
Then i have just check on the net. Wii do support Region free code. "Perrin Kaplan had originally stated that the system would be region-free. However, corrections from Nintendo of America and Nintendo of Europe concurred that the console does support regional lockout." Now my question is, DO THEY SUPPORT OR NOT SUPPORT REGION CODE..!! Damn game developers always make casual consumers confused over this things.
Oh then again, Wii will not ship into Singapore. because the distributor company for all the Nintendo nonsense, Maxisoft, are not willing to bring the console in. (It must be Xbox 360 and PS3 that's causing the console market problem in Singapore). There are even petition requesting Maxsoft to bring in Wii for those console geek to play. Article => Wii Not In Singapore
Maxsoft Has claimed that Wii will be coming into Singapore but with no official release date. so will it be coming? not coming? coming..? Arrgghh, dumb debate..
"Wii woo Wii.."
Since Wii will still be imported into Singapore from Japan, so region code will not be a problem. Conclusion? GET Wii FOR ME DAD..!!
