Play Your Import Gamecube Games On Your Nintendo Wii With The Gamecube Freeloader For Nintendo Wii.by Steven Fields
Playing import games on any video game console is quite a chore. In most cases you have to install a mod chip in order to load those great games from Japan and Europe. Hard core gamers have long known that some of the best - or at the very least, the most unique games come out of Japan. Be it the latest shooter, or a never before seen strategy game. Were often left waiting for USA releases of these great games. The truth is, many of them never see the light of day on our shores. Not that its always been easy to play them either. As I mentioned earlier, it often required gamers to open their consoles and solder in mod chips. While the more tech savvy gamer can do this with ease, not all of us want to open our system to play Japanese games. This was the case with the PS2 and also with the Gamecube - and now with the Nintendo Wii. That was of course before the released of the Gamecube and Nintendo Wii Freeloader disc. The Gamecube Freeloader allows you to play any import video games in your Gamecube or Nintendo Wii without having to open your system or solder in any mod chips. It simply quickly and easily allows you to play all of your favorite import games with no hassle or fuss.
Why do I mention Gamecube and Wii playing import games? Simply because the Nintendo Wii is also compatible with every single Gamecube Game, including the Gamecube FreeLoader disc. Because the Nintendo Wii can boot Gamecube Discs / games, you can also load the Freeloader and finally take advantage of all of the great Import games on the market. The Nintendo Wii Freeloader is a disc, that allows any Wii owner to play import Gamecube games without a mod chip. As you may have guessed, the Freeloader was not actually manufactured for the Nintendo Wii, but was instead a product that has been out for several years (with various updates) for the Nintendo Gamecube. Since the Wii can play Gamecube games and is backwards compatible, it will also load the FreeLoader on any Wii console allowing you to play any region Gamecube game with ease.
Now, if this were just any kind of disc, I wouldnt write a review on it. And often times, when I talk about import games, people ask me why I would want to play games that are all in Japanese and cant be played anyway. Or ask me what the big deal is with these games from Japan. The fact of the matter is, over 60% of Japanese import games can be played with no problem. Im a big fan or racing games and some of the BEST racing games for Gamecube have only been released in Japan. The same would go for first person shooters. But more than that, some of the games are just so very unique, so well designed, that you must try them. Youll immediately become an import game fan once you do.
Regardless of the genre of games you like. By being able to play import games, youre actually expanding your software library, or at least the available selection by thousands of additional games. Many of these games you wont hear about at your local Blockbuster, or in magazine. But online review sites like IGN.com or GameSpot.com have entire sections devoted to import games and import gaming, because there are a tremendous amount of great games available.
This brings us back to the Freeloader. The Freeloader was developed by Datel as a means to cut out the need for installing a mod chip in your Gamecube console to have access, and the ability to play these games. Before the Freeloader, you would need to install a Gamecube Mod Chip like the Xeno Gamecube or the Viper Gamecube chip to play your import and personally backed up games. While the Freeloader wont let you play backup games, it will effortlessly allow you to play Import games from any region on any Gamecube. There arent many online stores that carry the Freeloader. Youll either have to order it out of Japan or Europe or some offshore seller. I was however able to find it in the Froogle search engine and it turned up the following website: http://www.modchipnow.com/gamecube-freeloader-p-162.html
I want to also say that this is NOT an article to promote the Freeloader as the next best thing since sliced The Legend Of Zelda for the Gamecube or Nintendo Wii. If youre not into Japanese games, or import games in general, and have no interest in them, then the Freeloader is not for you. It doesnt offer any extras or advantages for any Nintendo Wii or Gamecube owner who is happy to just play the offering of games available in their own country. Its sole purpose is to allow gamers like myself, and tens of thousands of others, to enable the playing of Import games. While I am stressing just Japanese games in this article as they are my own personal favorite. European gamers can also play the latest games released only in the USA on their PAL Gamecube or Nintendo Wii systems as well. Gamecube import games are not just from Japan. If youre a fan or Rally racing games, many of the best games in that genre are released in the UK and Europe.
Just how do you use the Gamecube Freeloader on the Nintendo Wii? First of all, think of it as a Nintendo Wii Freeloader. Insert the disc into your Nintendo Wii just as you would your Gamecube, and then select it from your Wii Dashboard. Itll load up, and youll be greeted by the Freeloader main menu, where youll have several selections. While it isnt loaded with features thatll blow you away - that is exactly the reason its so easy to use. I suppose there arent really a slew of features you could pack in to software that is intended to do just one thing - play import video games. We can thank the simplicity and ease of use due to the few options it has.
The Freeloader is easy to use, both on the Gamecube and the Nintendo Wii console. You simply put the disc in the Gamecube or your Nintendo Wii, wait for it to load and then pick the map representing the region you want to play. Youll then have to eject the disc from your Nintendo Wii, or open the Gamecube lid, and take out the Freeloader, put in the game you want to play and it will just load for you. It couldnt get any easier really.
In closing, the Freeloader for the Gamecube or Nintendo Wii is meant to do one thing, and one thing only. It does it with ease and work perfectly each and every time. Its not intended to do anything else. Comparing it to other software or add ons for either the Gamecube or the Nintendo Wii would be pointless. If you want to start getting the latest import games without having to wait until the hit the local market - if they ever do at all, then the Freeloader is the easiest and cheapest way to get you started.
The Freeloader is a quick and easy to way to play Import games on your Gamecube or Nintendo Wii system. Find out more about the Freeloader and a similar product for the Playstation 2 called the Swap Magic online at http://www.modchipnow.com
