Wii (US version) - HK power adapter?

Guys, I'll be bringing my Wii from the US when I move back to HK - do they sell the HK adapters which I can use for the system? If so, where can I find it? (mongkok?)

Yes these sell 3rd party power adapters in SSP (Golden Computer Arcade). They may be out of stock though; my supplier ran out of stock before CNY and most factories are still closed so it may be a while before we see some products in stock again.

i presume from ur question you are wanting official nintendo branded power adapters. you're out of luck, the Wiis you find in hong kong are all parallel imports from US or Japan, both requiring a transformer.

unless you buy 3rd party ones, i suggest u bring your US adapter and then get a transformer at an electronics store.

Or do what I suggested, and get a 3rd party adapter that will work anywhere in the world

How much

How much are the power transformers? I just got back from the US and brought my Wii and I need a power transformer!

Does Wanchai 298 place have it too? or is SSP better?

If you want one that will fit directly into the Wii, like an OEM replacement, it's about $200.

Or you can get a power transformer, make sure it can handle at least 50W. These are about half that price I think, or even less.
