Datel turns Wii into multi-region console

Datel has launched a new package that allows owners of a UK Wii console to play games from around the world.

Wii Freeloader, a product that was previously released for Nintendo's GameCube, promises to allow console owners the chance to play some of the many hit games released overseas first or exclusively.

The package, which effectively makes the Wii console region-free, works by asking players to load the programme on their Wii and then, when prompted, they press eject and insert a US or Japanese game disc.

The Wii Freeloader is available now for £9.99.
