a couple questions fo everyone who has a Wii:

Where can I buy Wii games? I live in Busan, but make trips to Seoul on occasion.

Will Korean games work on my machine (it is from America)? I know Japanese games wont work unles I get the Wii modded. I probably won't get it modded.

I don't even know if you can really buy Wii games here yet, but I have seen them on a few Korea websites. So I am assuming their must be a place. Anyone ever try putting one of the Korean versions game into an American Wii?

How about importing from Amazon.com or some other site?

If it's an imported console, you need to import the games. Amazon and torrent dowloading are two options.

Torrents probably require me to mod the console right? Darn. Any idea what kind of tax I'll be paying on buying from amazon?

If you have a N.American Wii, and you download NTSC games marked for the same region as your console, then you will be fine. Korean games are marked on a different region than N.America.

Games I have seen here are Japanese. Go to play-asia and buy the NA versions there. That's what I do. Free shipping for Korea, and fairly quick.
