no, no, no.... the are Region coded. Japanese games only play on Japanese consoles and so on and so forth for every other country

Aw, Crap...

[The_Mitch]

well it depends on the developer. they are the ones who choose the game to be region locked or not but usualy games wont work in other regions

[mackiain]

not to mention they probably have different power outlets than we do.

They didnt lie exactly. The wording they were using is that First party games (meaning games by Nintendo) will not be region coded, I don't know if they kept their word on this or not yet.

japan has the same power plugs as the us, but you might want a surge protector/voltage regulator for safety, since japanese specs are slightly different. Japan uses NSTC video signals, so that should be all good.

Just no american games on your japanese wii without some sort of future hack/mod/bootdisk

oh, and I'm just guessing, but I bet the DC in from the power brick is the same on both systems, so you could probably use a US power adapter.
