You can use other countries' VC services if you import a wii, yes.

You, sir, made my day. As soon as I have enough cash, I'll import a Wii and get a load of GC-games I always wanted to have.


The only thing that made me wait (except for the money) if it comes to the Wii, is the outlook of PAL-VC-games only (check), getting the same (broken) stuff again (check) and paying premium for all the rating-stuff (check).


I really want to see Stunt Race FX released and how "fast" it will be.

it's the reason why NOE and SCEE are that against anyone importing games ... they wouldn't pay premium for games they could have had some months before and a better version then ...

and that's exactly the reason why importing will never cease, because they don't even try to do things right.

For example, Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney wasn't released in Germany, though you could get it in Austria or Switzerland ... for no apparent reason.
Now, VC? Once again, no apparent reason ...

Oh, and speaking about Germany: their laws on videogames are so strict that they taint any European release. A good example is that we got Probotector instead of Contra, a shame that the entire EU had to endure because the Germans couldn't handle shooting humans.

Though Probotector was way cooler back then, because of playing robots, I agree ... and if things continue this way, the germans will fuck up games even more.

Don't forget that there are people who complain about useless re-releases of shitty (namely, PAL) games for no apparent reason, why do they have to endure slower games >again<, although there is no reason why they couldn't give them access to proper versions of these games?

I can't imagine that everybody that noticed that he/she was ripped off in the SNES/N64-area will do the same mistake again.
If the VC would unexpectedly tank in Europe, I would be the last person being unhappy with that ...
