Wii's are completely generic. The only thing that differs is the power cord, and in the states the power supply unit (different voltage)

Even if there is a region lock, as there is on some games that have been published by Nintendo the region would be eu so should be ok. It very much depends on the game.....

True, there are only 3 regions, US, Europe and Japan, who knows what the rest of the world falls into !!!

There is region lock on ALL Wii games, including the GameCube playback and Virtual Console downloads.

But, you're right, UK/EU in same region for Wii.

Wouldn't import from the US/Japan though...
