Mario Kart Wii leaves Freeloader owners in the dust

What a day to get news like this. I finally get my Wii Freeloader just yesterday in the mail, and I wake up to find that Mario Kart Wii (The Japan and Europe releases) doesn't work on US systems with the "miracle" disc. This doesn't look good for CodeJunkies...I guess anything released before Mario Kart Wii would still be good, right? At least, anything before any future Wii system updates.

Regardless, I'm not in that big a hurry to check out the game, seeing that I'll be getting it when it's released here a mere 2-3 weeks away. C'mon, people...show some patience!
