Will Nintento Wii purchased in USA, work in Europe?

Question

hello to all.

my parents went to USA and i told them to bring me the Wii. However at the department store they went, they tpld them that the Wii would not work in Europe. is this true? not only for the power plug, but also for something else that my father didnt understand exactly why.

is this true guys?

I am so dissapointed with the above. it was the only thing i requested from USA. i should search for something else now! :-)

Answer 1

The actual console will work if you change the power supply or get a stepdown converter, but it will only play US games, not UK ones unless you use a loader (freeloader or action replay) although that still may not work for everything especially future games.

But yes as long as you are happy to buy US version games it will work fine. Just remember the voltage difference too, and either step it down or get a UK power supply.

Answer 2

no unless you buy certain games. in the pal format

Answer 3

The machine itself should work, but remember the wii is region locked, meaning you wouldn't be able to play any games bought in the UK, you would have to buy all your games directly from North America.
