It's meant the world to me, and these Wii discs specifically hold an immense place in my heart.Īs incredibly as it all worked out, unfortunately, Wii discs aren't region-free, and I didn't want North American players to be left out. Words truly can't express how appreciative I am, and I can't thank them enough for all the heavy lifting they did on their end to make it a reality. However, rather than giving up, I decided to reach out to Nintendo of Europe as well, and to my surprise, they said yes, and allowed it to squeeze through before that door closed too. Indeed, despite my best efforts, it just wasn't in cards anymore, at least, not for North America. It can be played entirely on the GamePad, with touch control.Īctually releasing a game on the Wii in 2020 is harder than you might imagine, as Vblank's Brian Provinciano explains:Īlthough we've still seen some Wii releases over the past few years, seeing one more wasn't a given. Interface-wise, you're looking at the Wii U GamePad, Wii U Pro Controller, Wii Remote, Wii Classic Controller, or Wii Classic Controller Pro.

The catch? The game will only work on European Wii consoles (we'll come to the reason why in a second).įor those interested in the Wii U version, it offers both SD and HD modes with 4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratios. Thanks to clever optimisation, the entire game fits into the Wii's system memory, so you won't experience any load times once the game boots up. Control-wise, it supports the Wii Remote, Wii Classic Controller, Wii Classic Controller Pro, and GameCube Controller.

The Wii version will come with both 50hz and 60hz, as well as both NTSC and PAL output.
