    EDIT:I'm now happy again :thumbsup:


    After waiting months upon months for Activision to release Lego Indian Jones in Japan they go and cancel it at the last minute. It has been on the release schedule for about 2 months now for a December 18th release. So I take a look today to see what Wii games are released before Christmas for my shopping list only to find Lego Indian Jones gone from the list. A quick check at Famitsu says Activision cancelled the release and the forthcoming Lego Batman without any given reason. The Bastards! F*ing months and months I've been waiting for this and now it's not coming. What makes it worse is that there's no safe way to play imports on a Wii so I can't even order the US version.

    Well and truly pissed off Yakumo

    Welcome to the world of Western Gamers. Like being in Europe all over again eh?

    Bad luck Yakumo. If it helps, I found them both to be fairly dull, mostly due to being so similar to Lego Starwars (which I played extensively).

    You can softmod your Wii and play imported games,all you need is Zelda Twilight Princess to install the hack.

    Yeah, I heard they are quite similar to Lego Star Wars (which I liked very much) although I would have loved to have played through the Indiana movies. I wasn't bothered by Lego Batman really , just wanted Indiana. Major shitter :(

    any info on how it's done and is it safe against Wii updates? I own Zelda on the Wii so there isn't a problem as far as that goes.

    Yes its safe,I have my Wii softmodded.You can use new backup loader to load import games and backup games and it works quite well.
    And here is a guide to get you started if you want to give it a go.

    That sucks, for the Wii thats probably the only good thing that would have come out lately. I got No More Heroes the other day, which is cool, but thats the first Wii game I've bought since March.

    They're rather good fun, for the jokes as much as anything else. Really good kids games, good for adults too.

    Also good games for those of us who have kids, one of the only series that is actually fun to play co-op with your kid.

    Well lego star wars didn't sell that well in Japan... anyway if you had a real games console like the PS3 then you could play all your imports without any silly little modchips. :p

    You know you want an Xbox, Yakumo! Get one and then grab the game from Play-Asia for 1500 Yen or so.
