Will games I buy from Japan work in America?
I'm going to go to Japan during the summer and I was wondering if I buy a game for the Wii and DVDs from japan would it work in America? Some people told me that it wouldn't work and I just wanted to makes sure of it. It's for USA and Is it the same for DVDS?

depends which country in américa, since even in the continent the game consoles have different tweaks. so be more specific to which country you are bringing those to.
2 :
yes but only if is from the brand.
3 :
The wii is region locked so Japanese games wont work on an American console, at least not without modifying the console, as for the DVD's it depends on the DVD player most wont play DVD's from other countries, but some do.
4 :
Japanese DVD and Wii games will not work on an American Wii or Region 1 DVD. If you have a DVD player that's for all regions, then you can watch Japanese DVDs on it.

Would a Gamecube memory card purchased in Japan work on an American Wii
Would a Gamecube memory card purchased in Japan work on an American Wii?
In the move to Japan I lost a memory card for my Gamecube. I was thinking about buying a new card here but I'm not sure if it will work for my American Wii. I know that I can't play Japanese games but I wondered if memory cards were coded similarly or not? First helpful answer wins the prize!

I think it should work, I have used imported Japan games on other US systems that have saved to a US memory card- so I don't think it should be a problem the other way around.

Will DVD's from Japan work in North America and will they have english subs
Will DVD's from Japan work in North America and will they have english subs?
I'd like to buy some of my favorite anime series online from Japan and I was wondering if they would work in a DVD player/PS3 in North America? And would they most likely have english subs? Don't ask me why I just don't buy the english dubs because they plain suck.

Most DVD's from the Japan will not work in North America because of the region codes. North America is region 1 Japan is region 2 If you are lucky, it won't have a region code, but I've only seen porn movies with no region codes. Region code ALL is another code that plays worldwide.
2 :
depends but check your PS3 cuz it might be region free that can play any dvd... i have a region free dvd player... and i can watch any movie i want so call sony or check the ps3 box to see if its region free...
3 :
Its not likely they will have English subs (unless they are being marketed to English audiences)... Many high production films in Japan dont even have English subs... except for the Ghibli movies for some reason. Good opportunity to learn some Japanese

Will a digital camera with a rechargeable battery bought in Japan work in Australia
Will a digital camera with a rechargeable battery bought in Japan work in Australia?
I want to buy a new camera from japan while im on holidays, will it work when i get back to australia?i know that i'll need an adaptor but i dont understand the voltage differences and if the battery charger will work here.

Almost all chargers sold today will feature a power supply that can take any voltage in the world. If not then you can probably find something that will work in oz on ebay
2 :
You'll probably be better off buying a camera where you are. Prices in Japan could be higher. Plus there maybe a problem with the warranty once you take it out of the country.Not to mention the added cost of buying a voltage converter.
3 :
You will probably need an adapter but usually the cameras come with such things incorporated... I bought a Nikon from US and I am using it in Europe with no problem. I just changed the power adapter and I am charging my camera battery simple. You should ask the camera salesman if the camera you want to buy has an adapter incorporated and if not how much cost one and where can you find it. Good luck
