Hi,

Bit of a techno-phobe so please bear with me. Bought a few Wii games while on holiday in the States and found that they don't work.

Is there anything that I can do to make them go??

US Wii consoles are NTSC standard, so they will only play NTSC games. European Wii consoles are PAL standard, so they will only play PAL games. A Wii console from the US cannot play PAL games and vice versa.
The only other option is to have the console modded, which I personally do not recommend.

Two Words. Sell them. Sell them, and with the money you earned, buy then in PAL version.
