    I'd assume so. It will use Bluetooth and as far as I know Bluetooth isn't regionalised. So by that logic you'll be fine.

    Would there really be that much of a price difference?

    I'd assume you'd benefit from the strength of the Euro against the dolla'

    But in saying that, a Wii-mote is $40 on Amazon.com which works out at just under 30 euros. So don't think there's much of a saving!

    Well they're 50 in the shops, so for me it'd be a great deal!

    They're 50 euro in shops?! :eek:

    Don't feel quite as ripped off paying 50 for Wii Play (with the extra WiiMote) so.... actually, no i still do! :D

    Yeah in GAME we're chargin 50 for the remote. 55 for WiiPlay and 28 for the Nunchuck. Madness but apparently that's the RRP.

    They should work, it's bluetooth so I can't see why it wouldn't.

    Yes, it will work.. Wii/GC controllers are not regionalised, even though it would be easy for them to do so.

    I have a US Wii and a Pal Wii and the controllers work on either.

    The nunchuck is €22 in GameStop. Still pretty picey. Is there a Wiimote/nunchuck combo set?
