wii u with French games Solved/Closed

Question

Hello,
I have a Wii console purchased in the USA!
And I have Wii games bought in France! Brand new games!
What should I do to make this work... help, I don't know anything about it!
Do I need to buy that thing that "regions unlocks" or a freeloader?
Thank you for your help!

Hello.
The first message of this thread was written in December 2007. At that time, the only way to play games from a different region was to install a modchip. Since the beginning of March 2008, a freeloader has been released that allows you to play games from any region on any console.
You can buy it on Play-Asia, which is secure and fast.
Please note that the freeloader is available in three versions (EURO, USA, JAPAN) for the different console versions.
Below you will find the links to purchase it.

European freeloader: https://www.play-asia.com/freeloader-pal-version/13/702m98

American freeloader: https://www.play-asia.com/freeloader-us-version/13/702m94

Japanese freeloader: https://www.play-asia.com/freeloader-japanese-version/13/702m99

Hello,
I bought a US game and controllers in NY. The US game obviously doesn't work on my European Wii (I didn't know that before buying it) and I'm considering buying the freeloader. I've seen that there are several versions. What should I pay attention to, and will this freeloader still read US games purchased in 2/3 years?
As for the controllers, I haven't unpacked them because the packaging states that they only work in the US. Are the transmission standards to the console different in the US??? Your opinion on whether this could work on my European Wii, thanks.

Hi, my dad brought me some Wii games from Japan, but I already have some of them and I'm not really interested in playing others.
They're all new and have never been out of the box.
I live in Lyon, so if anyone is interested, the games are:
Jumper: Griffin's Story
Spider-Man 3
Mario Kart Wii with the wheel
These three games have never been opened.
My email is: arthur.tura@hotmail.fr

Good evening,
I am selling a WII SUPER MARIO GALAXY game version US for my son.
Never used because it's a European WII.
I don't have the time to worry about unlocking solutions at the moment and he insists on playing right away.
So we will buy one in France (if some people are selling theirs).
Value is 55 dollars. Possibility for a hand delivery in the Lyon/St Etienne area.
Selling price in France is 50 euros.
Contact me at aztech.design@free.fr
Thank you.

I am reselling Mario Kart US for 43 EUROS with the steering wheel in its original packaging and instructions in French.

mlpmlp · Answer

Hello,
I am selling the WII game "GT Pro Series" purchased last week in the US. My son's WII is a European version and refuses to play the game.
The box is open and complete (including a steering wheel), but the game has therefore never been used.
The game is sold for €20 in France. Please make a price offer or even a trade to the address: marc.lassus_pigat@worldonline.fr.
Best regards.

Hello, I have a French Wii and I want to buy Madden NFL 2009 All-Play. However, it hasn't been released in France but it has been released in the UK. I know that there are regional locks for Wii consoles, but I assume it's not restricted to a single country? Can I buy my game online from the amazon.co.uk website and would I be able to play it on my French Wii, in your opinion??? Thank you for your answers!
