Japanese Console - US Games

8tQt · 02-05-2007, 01:01 PM

I just purchased my Wii in Tokyo. Brought it back to the US and tried playing some games. I get an Error Message (in Japanese) which I do not understand.

So the question is - can I use a Japanese console in the US to play the gaems purchased here?

Thanks.

ooooooooooooooooooooooo harsh. you can't play american games on a japanese/european/australian or vice versa. And the warranty is invalid if your wii is in a different country i think. tough luck.

Sorry dude, but that was a bad move to buy it there and play it somewhere else

its kinda like dvds with region codes but you can always try to find a mod chip but you may have better luck just selling it on ebay and buying yourself a new one
