    I've a brother coming back from the US at Christmas time and with the $ being good at the moment against the €, It'd be nice to have him bring me home some bits for the Wii
    however..I understand that Wii games are region-coded - are all the games coded or are there some region free ones out there?
    Also, on my dvds the region is indicated with a 2 on the side and the back - how do I tell with a Wii game - is it clearly marked on the cover?

    I was interested in getting Wii fit for my wife - I guess there is no probs in general with the hardware - its just the software?

    Thx

    ALL the Wii games are region encoded.

    The easiest way to tell is to look at the back of the game case. If it mentions Nintendo US, it's a US game. If it mentions Nintendo Europe, it's european.

    If the writing is in japanese... you get the picture ;)
