Added on July 14, 2007, 2:11 pmQUOTE(mustnap @ Jul 11 2007, 11:26 AM) nope. Japanese Wii can only play certain NTSC/U titles and same goes with US Wii as it can only play certain NTSC/J titles (meaning not 100% games can be played). Plus the updates does not work well with each other too (NTSC/U update semi bricked NTSC/J console) wah,if like this i had to put wii jap purchase on hold bro...

i bought my wii on the 07/07/07 kind of memorable right?
its a NTSC/US version, n i must say it is great. But it is up to u to buy a JP or US version , u actually can take that extra 400 as a insurance larh. It is more risky to hav a jp version i must say.

Good price, but if you made the journey solely to buy it then it isn't just RM900 now is it

There's no such thing as a Japanese PAL Wii.
Only Europeon and Oceania region have PAL console.
Here in M'sia, we usually prefer NTSC stuff.. So retailers won't carry PAL games.

http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=493094Found the link. It's not a Japanese version, but a New Zealand version, which falls under Oceania region(together with Australia). Sad he got conned. In the early days of M'sians getting Wii, some, if not many bought a PAL version only to find out that there's no games sold here. Alternatively they can mod their console so they can bypass the region locking.. Alternatively, they'll become pirates too.

It somewhat supports backups from original discs to totally piracy, so it's in the middle, therefore 'borderline' chatting about piracy Ah well.. Edit: And region bypassing.. Oh well..
