Since you got yourself a "transvestite" Wii (as what they use to refer here), this few links will probably help you be rid of your English/Korean Manual dilemma.

Here are the US Manual page for Nintendo's recent systems ---> Link

While I'm at it,
Here are more specific important ones that might overdose you with pleasure as well.

recently im buying Wii from gamers hideout
the set is from UAE (arab)

is it original US version?
NTSC/PAL?

my friend bought from UAE. They sell european PAL region wii, which is not compatible to games around here, unless it is modded. Think is definitely modded, otherwise they won't sell to u.

i tot gamers hideout didn't sell modded set

nah they don't. So good move for you to buy an unmodded one.

wat do u mean?

anyway, my Wii is PAL set or wat?
so i can't play US version games?

where to get PAL original CD?

why don't u give a call to gamer's hideout to confirm. if unmodded, only 1 version can be sold in malaysia, that is the US version. I am sure gamer's hideout only sells us version leh, so maybe u mistaken.

check the sysmenu version of your wii

4.0U it is usa set
4.0E is eu set

thanks mate..
mine is 3.3U
so confirm US set...Wii!!!!

and also checked with gamers hideout people
they helpful indeed, although only through email...

thankness!! , appreciates it!

firmware version doesn't tells u 100% which actual region your Wii is from.
there's lots of Korean set running 3.2U firmware out there

best way to confirm the actual origin of your console is by referring to the serial number

if it's starts with LU then it's confirmed to be a genuine US set

LAH then it's an Kangaroo (Aussie) PAL set

LEH then it's an Europe PAL set

LJF, LJH then it's a Jap NTSC set

not sure what's the actual serial for UAE set thou...

anyway... it doesn't matter if your Wii is an UAE set, as long as it plays originals without any problem then it's a good Wii

Just giving a heads up that Maxsoft for some weird reason started sending out their official Wii in UAE packaging. Everything inside should be the same as the NTSC (US) version.

hahaha... importing the Wii from UAE is a lot more cheaper than importing from half way around the globe
since the the content is still the same, no harm then, except the instruction manual is in Arabic if I'm not mistaken

Hi guys & gals,

I'm planning to buy a Wii soon and I gather from what I've been reading through - the US region one is the best to go for?

Many thanks.

Yup. Locals can get US games easily.

Great then~ I shall order from you.

LOL. My price a little high, but since its unmodded its like that lah brader. huhu.

Good Service > Price

In that case, I'm more than thankful. haha.

Where can I find virgin JP Wii?
