are nintendo wii games region coded? and how to I tell which region a game I have is from?

Q: I have Wii Super Mario Galaxy game which was given to me by an american, I don't have a Wii so I want to sell it on eBay but not sure if Wii games have region codes and if they do what region this game is from (might have been sent straight from US or bought through a mail order shop in Australia).

A: All Nintendo Wiis have region codes. Pal will not work it NTSC. Japan NTSC will not work with American NTSC. To find were a game is from, flip the case over and read the entire back. It will be written there, for example, Australia will have a message like this, "Only for use in Australian and New Zealand systems" and "PAL" on the front. Just keep reading it, it's ALL there.
