Best Answer

Yes, the Nintendo Wii is Region-Locked, meaning you cannot play Wii games from different regions on a Wii. For example, you cannot play games from Europe (PAL) on a Wii from North America (NTSC).

DS games are not region locked, so any DS cartridge will play on any DSi. However 'DSi Store' content is specific to the country of the DSi's origin.

No, the 3DS is a region locked console. Games produced for the EU/AUS region for example, can only be played in an EU/AUS 3DS. It would not work if inserted into a US 3DS.
