If i buy a Wii in europe... will it work in america?

[Tomkraven]

Im in spain right now and i want to buy a wii for xmas but the problem is that im not sure if it will work correctly when i go back to peru(peru uses ntsc tvs too)

Yes it should work in the US as long as you do a firmware change by using the Homebrew Channel.

Wouldn't the wii have been updated to version 3.4? I'm not really sure but if it has, you can't download homebrew.

Actually there is a magical barrier that splits down the prime meridian, it deactivates all Wii's purchased on either side of it as soon as they cross the border.

I kid, it probably won't play American Wii discs though. So if you are going to buy one in Europe I suggest buying all the games you want now.

^^This is a fools strategy, I suggest you simply wait. Maybe you could have one delivered to your house, one from Peru, so it will be waiting when you get back. I know very little about Homebrew, so I won't make any suggestions of it.

They work, but you have to buy European versions of the game, I have an American Wii and I live in Europe...

As far as I know there is an Wii Freeloader (made by Datel) who lets you play imported games.

However it doesnt work with Wii Firmware 3.3 and higher. :/ (Correct me if Im wrong)

I highly suggest you wait, even if it might be a pain, it's probably the best solution.

Doesn't Europe and America use different voltages?
