No, but if you get a modchip you can play NTSC games on you Pal Wii.

Ya, I have a mod already. I have put so much money and effort to this wii, I just wanted to be able to switch it to an NTSC version.

Apparently a guy that came down from Canada at the same time as me changed his from NTSC to PAL. Weird.

egrialuca is right, you can't change wii region. My question is if you have a modded wii, why does it have to be NTSC.

You can just do that, nothing will happen. Besides some games come out in Europe before they do in America.

How do I do it if PAL and NTSC systems are different? I just plug in the Aussie cord into a power transmitter and then into the wall, and plug in the A/V cables into the tv? I didnt think that was possible...?

for the power output problem u can just get a converter/transformer for the voltage difference if the AC adapter requires a different voltage, if u dont want to do that might as well just get one in canada...

notes: however i think australia is 240v and canada is 240v as well...

I have a modded NTSC and I want to run a PAL game but I either get a "unsupported mode" message if I use composite or the screen is in black & white if I use component... What can I do then?
