Nintendo Wii in India

Found this great source to buy the Nintendo Wii in India. It’s the US model so it turns out to be a pretty good deal.

Hi,

I recently moved back from the US. I plugged-in my Wii console. It works perfectly for about 2-5 minutes and then shuts off. Restarting it after some time again works for 2-5 minutes and then shuts off. I am using a 220v-110v converter with sufficient wattage. I am also using a PAL TV from the US. What could be wrong? Can any one help?

FYI, I am in Bangalore. Any repair shops in Bangalore?

Thanks

Bhaskar

hello everyone,

i see that in this Blog, the common thing is that every user posted a comment has purchased a WII either from USA/canada or Dubai.

here is a few issues which you face.

Q: I purchased my Wii from United States (USA) and when I used my adapter, I had a noise coming from my adapter and my Wii doesn’t turns ON. What went wrong????

A: Congratulations for your new Wii….and don’t worry everything is fine with your Wii, it’s just that the adapter came with your Wii is not supported in India due to voltage differences.

Q: The Wii adapter which I purchased from you is made in China.

A: Common, grow up,.90% of consumer electronic goods in made in chine,even my apple iphone 4 is made in china.. I do believe, even your Nintendo is made in china.

The Adapter which you need for your Wii to work in India is 230V.

So this adapter will work great for your Wii purchased from United States (USA).

i would highly not recommend to use local adapter,you not only waste money, they do harm your wii as well some times

due to voltage fluctuations in india, the local one's may not supply the correct amout of voltage to nintendo wii and thus harming it.

whooa, dont tell me you have more questions.

if you do, E-mail me amithh@live.com

i hope this info will be a great help for you guys.

and if you need help from where to purchase a original adapter, mail me, i have a lot of suggestions.

no, it will not work in india.

for that wii to work in india, you would need to buy a indian original adapter for wii.

this is because of voltage differences in US and india.

what you can do is you can buy a orginal adapter in india.

i have posted a link , you can contact the seller and query with him.

i bought a wii from dubai and a game from dubai only.. but there is a problem the discs donot read at all....

its because of ntsc/pal region, i do believe you need to modify it, so that, you can play all the discs.

Hi I live in India. I bought Wii from U.S and plugged the Wii Adapter directly in the wall outlet of India without connecting the converter. And now it is burned. I tried connecting to another adapter which was rated as 100-240V. The power was on for a few secs however after it was not switching on. Q-1 Now what should I do ? Q-2 Can it be repaired ?

Hi I want to buy a Wii console in Singapore and bring it to India. Will i face issues to run it in India? Also will games bought in India work on Singaporean Wii? What is softmod by the way and how safe is it?

WII in india will cost you INR 18k at chroma Bangalore.

I have bought US WII 1 week back from US and have also bought the converter 220V - 110V from Walmart. But the converter says "Do not use with power tools or electronic circuitry(i.e. computers, fax machines, TV, VCR, Sterios, Battery rechargers etc.)"

Converter can be used with Curling irons, Shavers, Clothes steamers, Hair Dryers..

Shall i go ahead and use this converter with my Nintendo WII or i should buy an adaptor from india which works on 110V-240V Power supply.

Please help, Wanna play.....

most of my customers have tried using the convertor but sometime it works and sometime it doesnt.
i think you should go ahead with a new adapter.do understand it is bit costly but try using convertor first

Look for the power rating on the Wii console or its box and also compare that with the rating of the convertor. If the convertor is rated the same or higher go ahead and plug it in.

Even Convertor has two Wattage setting LO & HI (Lo up to 50 Watts & Ho for 51-1600 Watts) Which one needs to be used for Wii

Does anyone know if yu can get a brand new nintendo wii console from Punjab, India .
I live in canada and there deffinetley cheaper in India and will they
work . Like the sports and everythong please let me know.

You get the non modded Wiis only in selected stores and there too the cost is about 18000 INR. I'm sure they would be cheaper in the US.

The modded ones are cheaper of course and you can pick them up off ebay.in. Most of the suppliers on eBay are from Delhi/Punjab and you shoudl be able to get it easy.

Oh btw please note that the Canadian system is the same as the US (I believe) which is NTSC while India is the same as Europe (PAL) Since the Wiis are region coded, an American Wii will not work with an Indian television.

yes you can.
it is costly in india.
in canada it would be nearly 10000 in INR but in india it is priced at 18500inr

The 3 months warranty is not offered by JJ Mehta but by Nintendo itself. Nintendo should increase the warranty limit

I'm looking for WiiMote alone ( even Second hand will do ). Can any one suggest where to buy around New Delhi , what could it cost approximately ?
Thanks

Hi people,

Like a few others, I accidentally plugged my USA Wii system (120v) directly into the Indian socket (220V). I probably blew the fuse in the adaptor. I know that I can buy a new one for about Rs. 1200. But this is a very simple issue, and I was wondering if anyone has any experience with replacing the adaptor fuse.

Thanks!
