European Wii Games Don't Work on Australian Consoles — Region Locking by Territory

No. Both Europe and Australia use the PAL video standard, but the Wii enforces region locking by territory, not just video mode.

• Europe: Region code PAL (EUR)
• Australia: Region code PAL (AUS)

A European (EUR) disc will not boot on an Australian (AUS) Wii, and vice versa. The region codes differ despite identical PAL signaling.

Exceptions: A handful of titles have "multi-region" patches, but this is rare. Most discs are strictly region-locked.
