Wii footloose and region free

Nintendo of America's Perrin Kaplan stated in an interview that the Wii was region-free and without restrictions, much like its handheld forerunner the DS. Third party publishers will have access to a region lock if they choose, but Nintendo won't be using it for any of their games.

Awesome! I hated the whole regional/worldwide thing on DS because everyone was playing regional and I couldn't get anyone to play on worldwide.

Yay! I know it isn't very profound.

It's not region free.

NoA said it was, NoE said it wasn't. I tend to agree with NoA, given that Kaplan is much more trustworthy than Yarnton, who has apparently made many more mistakes with important details.
