Can I use a British Wii Remote on an American Wii?
I'm an American living in England. I brought my Wii with me and I'd like to get a new controller. Should I import one from the US via eBay or could I just grab one at a store here in the UK?
I’m undecided

Inappropriate?From what I've seen in discussion boards online, the UK Remote should work just fine with the US Wii. (There may be some issues with country-specific games, but I haven't seen any instances of the Remotes not working correctly, both US Remote on UK Wii and vice versa.) I've put in a help question directly to Nintendo, though, so will report back on the official answer as soon as I hear! -
Inappropriate?I have both a japanese, a pal-region and an american wii. All consoles will accept each other's remotes without any hassle whatsoever.
And my japanese Wii Fit shipped today. :-D
I’m excited

Inappropriate?Received the response from the Nintendo support, which echoes what was said above:
Unlike software, Nintendo-branded console accessories like Wii Remotes and Nunchuk attachments are universal. No matter where they happen to be purchased, they should work with any console worldwide.
So, buy away, and enjoy!
I’m happy!
