Nintendo wii

Hi! I want to know... if I bring a Nintendo wii from the USA, would it work in Qatar?? I mean the plug would be OK to use there (the power you connect to the electricity)?? Or do I need to buy a different charger for it??

Please, if anyone has done it, share with me!
Thank you

The American wii will not work in Qatar unless you buy a converter. (240v to 110v).

Do not plug in the american wii into the power socket directly else you will have a pretty expensive paper weight - not sure whether you can just change the built in transformer.

d, you can check if the transformer originally provided with your console works in the range of 110-240 v, if so then there is no prob, just bring it in.

At most you will have to buy a plug converter/adapter to plug it into the electricity wall sockets. These adapters are avilable almost in any electronic shop/market/supermarket.

Regards!!
