I recently bought a wii in Indonesia plus an adapter plug for use in australia, for my grandson. I hear that the games are incompatible, could this be so?
Are there special country usages for the games?
@cynhunt,
It quite be possibly true:

But implied in the article is that depending on which market Australia is considered in terms of country code whether the game will work.

Koreans Get Different Wiis
Country codes are usually segmented into N. America, Europe, and Asia, with Korea being included into Asia, but the Wii in Korea will have its independent code.
Thus, The Wiis released in Korea will not be able to play games that are sold in the United States or Japan. Similar to the codes in DVD players, the Korean Wii will have a specific country code that only enables it to play Korean-language games.

@cynhunt,
Bet a large sum without even looking that there are work arounds for the country code nonsense.
Stumble It!
