Wii Freeloader On The Way

I just read on Kotaku that Datel is working on a Wii Freeloader. This is great, but I feel has one serious flaw.

Something tells me with the new firmware upgrade model of these next-gen systems, that discs like a Wii Freeloader will not work for more than a month or so.

I could see Nintendo issuing a mandatory firmware upgrade that would lock out a Wii Freeloader. Considering Nintendo's past with the NES/SNES/N64, this product from Datel looks like it is dead in the water.

That really sucks. I see buying a Japanese Wii in the future to play Japanese games such as Bleach Wii.
