Buying games for a US Wii in Ireland?

Mammanabammana · 2015-10-13 21:57:24

Hey all - so I have a US Wii (not Wii U) and TV here - the system all works fine because I have the right adaptors, power supply etc but I only have a few games. I know I can get US format games online but I was wondering does anybody know of anywhere in Dublin that actually sells games in this format, for a US machine?…

I don't know of anywhere, I very much doubt there is such a place. Why do you have an American Wii? If I were you I'd just buy an Irish/UK Wii. They're as cheap as chips and it would be a lot less hassle.

Just softmod it to make it region free & buy PAL games for it.

You can do a softmod (or get someone know knows how to) to come the region lock off the console. It's fairly straightforward.

Check YouTube for tutorials

Maybe the rage? I doubt it though. You can get Wii's for pennies in cex these days.
