[sappo]

Shocking, I only yesterday decided I'd wait until Chocobo's Dungeon was announced to have some form of release in English and now I have a whole new factor to consider.

[Triv1um]

$#@!. Just sold mine because i didnt think this would happen.

[TeenDev]

I really want to get a Wii now....

I wish I coulda gone to 24c3....

[DPyro]

Will be interesting to see where this leads...

[the_skip]

It would be interesting to see if this actually goes anywhere. My hope is to see the gamecube or virtual console controler to run a n64 emulator or even a good snes emulator and I would be very happy. I would also want to see what nintendo thinks of this.

So I began digging on their page and came up with this. here Tis a lot of reading. But ultimately To sum it up. They dont like it.
But I suppose it would be a stretch to expect nintendo to like the idea, it would negate their point of locking the wii to begin with


To sum it up in a nut shell.
