Can I play old WII console games from Australia and Europe in USA if I buy a US console?
Due to my work I lived in Australia and later in Europe between 2006 - 2008. In Australia I purchased a Wii console and some games for it. Due to the voltage and TV (PAL) standards being the same in Europe, I was later able to use the console and games also in Europe, with some European games as well.
After moving back to USA I started using Xbox but I still have that old console and the games.
The question I wanted to ask is, if I get a new American console, will I be able to play those games?
Best Answer
I know you can play Aus games on Euro and vise versa but I don't think you can play games from Aus/Euro to US. Not happening. Tried it once, DIDN'T WORK! Boom boom. Sick sad world.
