Aww, you poor impatient hackers...
Does Freeloader not work for you? Aww.. poor you... 
Pssh, yeah right. xD
More info on this here: http://www.wiinewsdaily.com/no-early-mar...americans/
A lot of gamers turned to Datel’s Freeloader as an answer to all of this nuisance, but unfortunately, it’s been found incompatible with Mario Kart Wii. Nintendo has finally put a stop to all the underground fun, forcing import stores, such as play-Asia, to send out emails such as the following:
This is an important e-mail update regarding your pending preorder Mario Kart Wii (w/ Wii Handle) (Nintendo™ Wii Japan, NTSC J)
We received the first small delivery today for testing and unfortunately we have to inform you, that the game is not compatible with the Datel Freeloader (US and PAL Version).

That's why modchips are better 
And I wouldn't consider someone who bought freeloader a hacker at all. Real hackers have modchips.

Yeah good point and I agree, modchips are superior in this case.

RE: Aww, you poor impatient hackers...
Hackers? What's wrong with importing stuff?
Game (original PAL version) works fine on my modded Wii btw, so they definately didn't "put a stop to all the underground fun". Actually, burned copies work perfectly on PAL, NTSC-J and NTSC-U Wiis, so major fail to you there, Nintendo. Why would you block the Freeloader, which needs ORIGINALS, but not actual modchips is beyond me. (Not that I have a problem with them not blocking chips but still.)
Oh, and Sousanator, just using a modchip to play backups isn't hacking either, really.
