Can anyone help as we’ve just moved to the USA from the UK and have bought along our british Wii. I’ve purchased a new power adaptor for it to overcome the voltage issue and it does work but the picture is awful and only displays in black and white. Is this due to the pal/ntsc thing? Is there any way I can overcome this as only hear for a year so I don’t want to have to buy a new wii.

Thank you.

Hi there,

I bought a Wii from Singapore that came chipped, so theoretically I can play games from any region on it. However a friend mentioned that if I try playing a game from the UK, it might try and update the Virtual Console and render the Wii a big old white brick. Can anyone confirm this? Should I stick to importing games from Singapore to be safe?

Hope someone can help!

Just brough a wii from China, its supplied with standard power AC output of 110 and they given me another ac adaptor with an output of 110 and input 220, is this correct? and will it work? Or would buying a UK ac Adapter work better?

Apart from needing an adpator plug do i need anything else?

How about the wireless remotes? Don’t the US and UK versions use different frequencies?

If so, then you could be transmitting on an illegal frequency in the UK (using US kit), but worse you could find that UK-bought Wii-motes don’t work with your US-sourced Wii. Remember the console only comes with one Wii-mote. Can anyone confirm?
