This message is at large meant for people from Europe, but if you can be of any help, it is of course appreciated.

With the rise of the Wii U, the Wii is slowly dying as expected. I know this is one of the last chances to find unused Wii games for reasonable prices, I decided this was the time to start buying some, expanding my collection with those games that I never came across or just simply never bought before.

However as my Wii is region locked in PAL (Europe and Australia), and Europese games are bound to multiple languages, it is more difficult to come across an English PAL Wii game, than to its US copy. Some games go for prices as high as €80.00 ($100.00), more than twice their original price.

My question is, does anyone know some companies or sites that sell PAL Wii games in English (non-localized)? It could be from the UK, Australia or Norway, the location does not really matter.

Any help is highly appreciated, my thanks in advance.
 
All of the Netherlands released Wii games that I've seen* have Dutch packaging, and manuals in Dutch (sometimes with German and/or French, too) but the game itself is all in English (or at least has an option for English play). The Netherlands doesn't have its own Amazon (yet >_<) but we do have our own Ebay, and other online sites. Wii game selection in stores has gone down somewhat, but not significantly that I've noticed.

If you're looking for ONLY English games, you may be better off going through UK websites, but if you don't mind getting games that have multiple languages so long as English is one of them, Dutch games may be a good contender. I don't have all too many PAL Wii games, so I can't tell you for sure which ones would be English-only versus English-option, though.

* - i.e.; I can't imagine this includes games aimed towards very young children, but as I haven't bought/played any of those, I wouldn't know.

Dutch games tend to be even more expensive, with prices around ~€80,00 for some unused games.

I have been looking overseas. Both New Zealand and Australia offer a decent amount of games for a fair price. I guess I will stick with low prices and high transport costs for now. Thanks for the advice though.
