Play-Asia said that the Japanese [tag]Mario Kart Wii[/tag] version wasn’t working on US [tag]Wii[/tag] systems with the [tag]Wii Freeloader[/tag], but apparently they were wrong. NCS is now reporting that Play-Asia was using an older firmware version that blocked the Mario Kart Wii disc, but they tried it with v3.1U firmware and the game worked perfectly so don’t worry and import Mario Kart Wii from Japan!
