    Avoid it or you will have to always buy Japanese games (unless you get it chipped). Wiis are region coded, America, Europe and Asia (I think). So you have to buy the correct region games for your Wii.

    There is one advantage to a Japanese Wii though, games are usually released earlier in Japan and the US than in Europe.
    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 die
