The consloes are the same and the games will work but I'm not sure the consoles will work in america because of difference in electrical systems(if there is any I don't know) and plug sockets I'd check those out first

Thank you so much, albear.
I know the plug sockets are same between America and Japan. They are both 110v.
Like this -> l l
So, you mean, if plug sockets are same, it will work in America? Right? Game and consoles both..

The games should work on any console no matter where you bought it, but my main concern is that the american electrical system will short circuit the wii so id ask nintendo about it basically

I don't think the Wii is region free. You might have trouble playing American Wii games on a Japanese console.

This is an old interview before the console was released. Based off one woman who didn't get the memo that the Wii is entirely region locked.
The Wii is NOT region free. At all. Not even first party games.

Hi Capuchin,
I should have checked Wiki first, Wii - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia , it says the console supports region coding so presumably they will and are using it. Of course, no reason you can't add a mod chip in this case!

Oh yes, of course it can be modded to get rid of the region encoding, but that sometimes makes things stop working :)
