Maybe the seller put that one in?

Now I'm wondering if something else in the manual was wrong/misleading? First page states the Console will only read discs made from USA, Mexico & Canada. Also a few other Countries.

It seems Middle Eastern Wiis are normally PAL, but some may also be NTSC.

It does not list Japan as one of the Countries in the manual.

I looked & of the Wii games I've gathered in NA, 4-5 titles are made in Japan. Today I bought Mario Kart new & saw one Made in Japan & one Made in USA. I picked the U.S. Copy.

Well, Japan is another region. It's US, Europe/Australia and Japan. There is no way that you can play games from more than 1 of those, unless it was modified in some way.

But you could always just install the Homebrew Channel and that way you would be able to play games from outside of your region.

Having "Made in Japan" on it doesn't mean that it's a Japanese version of the game. If it was, the game would probably be Japanese only.

Is it possible I received a NA console? Wouldn't Nintendo have provided the proper power AC for UAE & Middle Eastern Countries if it is a Middle Eastern Wii Console?

Seller may have replaced it.
Or maybe seller just used a Middle Eastern box, idk. Why do you think that it's a Middle Eastern Wii? Because the box says so?
