Page 1 of Does a UK Wii play US games?

As title says, thinking of getting Manhunt 2 :)

Unfortunately not. The Wii games are (for some reason) still region protected.

Unlike the PS3 & a lot of the Xbox360 games.

Just seems stupid in this day and age...when most people`s TVs can handle NTSC & PAL signals and stuff can be easily ordered online.

EDIT: I actually have it for the PS2 (Manhunt2 that is) - but haven`t even fired it up yet.

There are...erm...ways <koff> but you have to ensure there is no firmware update contained within the game itself.

I think this is why Ninty have kept the equivalent of region coding is that the NTSC U, NTSC J and the PAL E firmware are specific to the console.

Does seem silly though...already had mates who`ve phoned and asked how to get games they bought the kids on holiday to work :(
