Wii Online and Virtual Console Discussion

[Kodiak33]

I've got a question for people who would know more than me! I'm going back to Germany next week, and a friend of mine wanted a Wii from the states. I told him that the console is US region locked and some of the games he bought in Europe would not work. Is everything region locked like I have thought or am I wrong?

Holy CRAP, the Wii rules! I was in Portland (Maine dummies) for the weekend, and decided after I called Target the day before that I would show up an hour before they opened to get a Wii (they got 25 in). Well, it sucked waiting in line for an hour in 10 degree weather, but it was worth it.

Ended up getting the Wii (with Wii Sports), Zelda, Mario Galaxy, and an extra controller/nunchuck as well.

Definitely had a blast with everything so far. Me and my fiance are addicted to Wii Bowling. When i've had time to myself to play, i've been playing Zelda like crazy, and it's absolutely amazing. Honestly, it's the first 3D Zelda i've ever REALLY played, and it's an incredible experience. Can't wait to try Mario Galaxy when I get the chance as well.

I can't believe that when The Show comes out, i'll have to balance time between all these games. Let alone, when GTAIV comes out...

It was the only one I could find that was availiable. I bought it off ToysRUs.com. I also got Metroid Prime Corruption and SSMB Brawl. They have a sale on their site. Buy 1 Wii game get the secound one half off.

Just got my component video for HD and to anyone on the fence about wether to get them or not. If you have an HDTV get them. Everything is more crisp and clean. Not like The Show or COD4 graphics but, so much cleaner.
