not all games can be played and it might have the risk to brick your console since , just like PSP, before a game load, it will check for your console's firmware and will update it if your console's firmware is outdated.

The best way to avoid this is to play back those game which match the same region.

by the way, i am not encourage you to mod your console..., but just want to share some info i gather from the net and hope this info will prevernt you get conned by those shop that try to sell you a modded console and promise you, 'you wii can play all type of games'

of course, please correct me if i am wrong

There is an online guide that will tell you which region game is compatible with which region console.

For eg, Rayman Rabbit US NTSC is not compatible with Wii Jap but Rayman Rabbit PAL NTSC is compatible with Wii Jap. So when you buy a wii game that is different region, check out the guide first. You might not want to spend hundreds and find out it can't run on your wii (mostly for imports game).

Don't assume US NTSC will 100% compatible with Jap NTSC machine.

I still prefer Jap Wii cause most of the good game will come from Jap first before ported (if ever) to US. IMHO, don't get PAL machine.

Japanese is more creative than US. Most top title is from Japan. US only know how to make RTS and FPS.

One of my biggest concern with getting a Jap version is that I will end up poking around the menu blindly then accidentally clicked something that may lead to disasterous outcome.

Anyone here with Jap version, mind to enlighten me with your experience with Jap Wii's GUI? Any guide that can help me to go through the menu levels and selections?

spoon, maybe the compatibility list link posted by wild_card_my will help you? By the way, IMHO for best investment is still to buy NTSC/US version of Wii.

HI,
do u know chinese? if u know, then it is ok to buy Jap version as some of their words are similar to chinese. Btw, I hv a translated manual from Jap to eng, if u need it pls pm me yr email.

It's actually quite easy once u get the hang of it. I manage to have a test drive with the wii before buying it (I bought from SCE at SnM). So if u're still uncertain about the jap console, u can always opt for the US version one.

Here's some translated version of the wii settings menu.

dear all,

i need immediate help and kind advice asap.

i just got myself a japan Wii and tried it for the first time last night. unfortunately, even before being able to switch the Wii on, something blew off (i wasnt sure where it came from tho), but i am pretty sure i havent even switched the wii on just yet at the time this took place.

could it be the fact that Wii should only be connected to a 100V power supply? whereas power supplies are usually in the range of 250V here in Malaysia?

could anyone tell me if Wii (by any slimmest possibility) is equipped with a fuse in it? or its adapter at least (*crosses finger)

pls dont tell me i just burnt my good ol Wii!!!! arghhh!!

would anyone be kind enough to advise me on what to do from here?

Did you not use a stepdown converter for your Wii?

Not sure if there's a fuse, or something like that to fall-back on, best you take it back to the place of purchase, and test it out.

What you could do to test is borrow your friends Wii adaptor and stepdown (if the adaptor 110V) and test on your Wii.

If the Wii is working then you just need to buy a new adaptor.

i dowan to pour cold water
but most probably your wii is burnt

cause i guess u forget to use the stepdown transformer
sorry man
