The Wii is region locked so US games will only play on a US Wii. there was a rumour that the party games would be region free but Im prettyy sure that has been proved wrong.0

I believe it is possible toget a Wii chipped to play US games on a UK machine but obviously that will invalidate the warranty.It's my problem, it's my problem
If I feel the need to hide
And it's my problem if I have no friends
And feel I want to die0 -
What is correct a modified wii can play any region games it also allows other things that are against forum rules to discuss0

Getting a Wii "chipped" would enable to you design your own games for the Wii, there are new programming applications which now let you do this on your PC. Although I think the reason the Wii is locked is to prevent you playing games that can be bought cheaper from other countries!
The downside is, you lose the warranty.Faith is believing what you know ain't so...0 -
There are talks that Freeloader will make a Wii converter disk like they did on the Gamecubes. Although that will be a while yet.~*Cerenia*~
