Question:

Wii Game Console

Does anyone know where I can buy a Wii game console English version in Japan? I can probably order them from an overseas vendor, such as Amazon or the like, but I don't want to pay the shipping if I can buy one in Japan.

Region: Other (Not Specified)

  • As far as I know it's not possible to get an English version of the Wii in Japan. Best bet would be to get one sent from overseas. One good vendor is Play Asia. See http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-00-49-jp.html. I'm not sure if compatibility issues exist between different versions of the Wii, but if they don't then you can get cheap games in English from Hong Kong.
