Have bought Nintendo Wii but didn,t realise it just plays Japanese games. Is there anything I can do to adapt?

Answer 1

You're the second person i've heard of who has been duped with foreign Wii.
Reckon selling on ebay your only option. Be honest and sell as Japenese Wii

Answer 2

Nothing legal. Video game consoles and DVD players are "region-locked" to comply with international copyright and intellectual property treaties. A Wii made for the Japanese market will only play games from that market. It is theoretically possible to modify a console to play out-of-region media, but I'm pretty sure that's not legal.

You could probably resell it to a collector who wants to play Japanese games, and maybe at a profit.

Answer 3

The Wii even with a modchip installed will not be able to play a lot of PAL (European ) games.
There are ways including the modchip that allows users to play multi region games on their consoles but there are a lot out there that even with region free-ing the game file, you still cannot play it on your foreign Wii.

If the listing on EBay was incorrect then report it to them and file a complaint. Raising a dispute with EBay means that if the listing is found to be misleading or information is omitted then you WILL be entitled to a FULL refund from the seller

Answer 4

You can get a mod chip installed on it which will bypass the region coding but I wouldn't recommend it in the least. Sell the system on e-bay, people are generally willing to pay a premium for foreign systems so that they can play foreign games. At the very least you'll get you money back on the system.

Answer 5

either learn to read and understand it or try and sell it cause there are tons and tons of gamers that would love t get the system then u could buy urself another one and maybe some games for the new one

Answer 6

buy japanese games?
