Regional Restrictions for the Wii? - 04-13-2007, 01:15 AM

So I know that the DS is not limited by regions in that you can play a US game on a Japanese DS, but does anyone know about the Wii? Can you play US games on a Japanese Wii? Also does the Wii have language selections when you set it up?

Im not sure about the Japanese Game thing but the only language select is English French and Spanish.

There is definitely a region lock. Games from one region cannot be played on a Wii from any other region.
If I recall correctly, there is a language selection (for the menu only)... At least I think so. I seem to recall seeing it.


If anyone is trying to find me… Tamyuun on Instagram is probably the easiest.

Yes, I do. I also have a DS, an Xbox 360, and a PS2 (not to mention older consoles). We`re holding off on buying a PS3 because Sony is seriously screwing up.

Why do you ask? :P
