Christmas Day and ds could not play any of his new games on his wii

[lixylix]

How disappointing - he got new wii games and all but one would not play - even the wii fit dics would not register in the console.

What can this be - has anyone had this happen and how did you resolve it?

We tried that yesterday - definitely not in the wrong way.

check if your system and or games are either PAL or NTSC. they need to be compatible. If you bought them from the states they will be NTSC, but your console will more than likely be PAL if you bought it in the UK

Certainly the Playstation is chipped according to the region in which you buy it and you have to buy games from the same regions.

I found out by buying one from Toys R Us for DH years ago and it turned out that they only sold Japanese-chipped ones because the only place you can buy the compatible games is.... Toys R Us. Fucking scammers.

The games were bought from Game, Amazon and Argos.

They should be fine then, all games sold through outlets for PS / etcx should be trhe right region so if Wii is regional then Argos etc will sell our region

Sounds tbh as if you may have a faulty amchine? Where did you by it?

nintendo helpline- call customer services?

I bought the console last Feb in Sainsburys. We only had the sports game, that worked fine for a couple of months but then we never used it again until just before Christmas.

Try updating your Wii - see info here:

Might help?

Thank you - have followed these instructions but its now asking for a pin, which I don't have.

Hi - it seems PIN is to do with Parental controls see here:

Maybe set when you first got it?
Hope you get it fixed.

Just before I go....only other help I can see is maybe going through their help pages on disca at

www.nintendo.co.uk/NOE/en_GB/support/wii_support_5251_8104.html

which also gives phone numbers is problems not resolved......I love the Wii and I feel for your ds
