There should be no need for the compatibility list because the hardware is so similar to the Cube, I think. Probably only 1 or 2 games will ever have a problem.

I thought it was backwards compatable with everything (it is just an overclocked Gamecube, after all). (as above)
I'm considering an import console this time, never did before, but I'll probably go PAL for the assurance. I figure there is a good chance that the fringe games, which are going to sell in reduced numbers, are the ones which are most likely to be region free. Anyway, I'll try to keep complaints to a min when I get shafted!
Still if they delay to March 2007 I might just have to import anyway

Example: Psychonauts for Xbox and PS2. USA by Majesco Sales in April 2005, Europe by THQ in February 2006 - both region locked.

When we asked Nintendo about the A/V hookup, they said the system would include an all-in-one composite-component cable much like the one included with the premium Xbox 360. We did not get to see those cables, so take that one with a grain of salt.

Originally posted by LyrisWhat's your reasoning for that? Aren't games that sell in reduced numbers niche ones and usually released by companies that don't have European arms? Meaning that the American version and possible European release will quite possibly be released by different publishers and therefore be competing products.

So what kind of games are made region free, is it just random?

In addition to Wii-specific titles available at retail, the new console is also fully backwards-compatible with all GameCube discs. Moreover, the system's "Virtual Console" will allow users to download a bevy of classic titles from past Nintendo consoles, as well as games originally released for the Sega Genesis and NEC TurboGRAFX. There will be about 30 classic games available on the Wii at launch, including such fan favorites as Donkey Kong, Super Mario World, and Super Mario 64. Approximately 10 additional backlist titles will be added every month. Games will be purchased with Wii Points, a proprietary currency that will work much like Microsoft Points on the Xbox 360. The games will run between 500 and 1000 points. Nintendo will sell 2000 points for $20.

Why are you lot so worried if the Euro Wii is delayed? Is it for the sake of Nintendo's EU sales, or because for some reason you're waiting for a PAL version...? (in which case, aren't you on the wrong forum?)
And the letters UK in the forum are just as important as the letters NTSC
Im thinking what with the cellphone stuff the VC will be locked to the home nation
my main reason for getting a pal one is that all my gamecube games are pal apart from resi4
