Hello, I know the voltage will be different, but I don't know if your wii can switch automatically to the new voltage, you'll have to take a close look at its spec in the manual or on the device itself. USA volts are 110v 60hz, I'm guessing you're on 230v 50hz. I think the TV standard is different too, they use a colour system called NTSC, and you're probably on PAL, so bearing these things in mind, read your manual to see if there's any reference to these items. (Sorry, can't be vaguer than that!) Regards, nicam49

There is unfortunately no legal way around this, though if you explain the issue to the vendor you may be able to get a refund.

I bought a new nintendo wii from america and when i used for the first time in india there was a power fluctuation and bam my wii is not working. Can you pls let me know what is the problem?
this person seems to have a similar problem: http://in.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20071117124035AAO6gOT

I think you probably put too mush power into the wii. USA uses 110V instead of 220V so you may have fried the wii or (hopefully) only the power supply.

Got my wii for christmas, just opened it up yesterday 12-26 and it will not read the disc. message come up error has occured eject and unplug. this is very upsetting. please help
Hi,

Your problem could be that the disks you are running may be unknown or fake or maybe it's because your wii's regional code is different from the games regional code i.e. Your wii is from Australia and your games are from America. So if you got your wii from your current country that you live in and say you had some friends in another country who bought these games for you then they will not work on your wii. It is rather upsetting I do agree. I hope this works and you feel better.

Just bought a playstation 2 hitman cotracts game from america,but when i insert the disc it says insert a playstation or playstation format disc.are the games from america different to australia.if not how...
No, the American Ps2 game will not load on Australian one because in Australia the TV system mode is PAL and the in America its NTSC standard.You can't load any game until your Ps2 is modded.You can buy a modulator than can convert PAL to NTSC and vice versa.

Going to the states will there games play on my wii here also my son working over there thought he could send the games home for presents if they work
Yes their games will play fine on your Wii, and yes you can send games home. Wii systems sold here only work in Canada, US and South America.
Now if you were trying to do that with a Japan game, they have a different region code then us (Canada, US) So if you wanted to play Japan games on a Canadian/United States Wii you would have to install a mod chip for that to work.

Cabelas big game hunter for wii
Hey reneeandryan,

While Nintendo Wii games are not region-coded, the hardware itself is made in both NTSC and PAL formats. In order for a video game to function with your Wii, it would need to be in the same format as your Wii console. This unfortunately means that video games purchased from NTSC compliant countries, such as the U.S., will not function with the PAL consoles sold in Australia.

Hope this helps you out.

Sincerely,
Aaron
