Using an American Nintendo Wii in Israel

[mrmike16]

Hi everyone,

I am having trouble finding a Nintendo Wii power supply (wall outlet to Wii adapter) with Israeli voltage (220v). The one I had with it is not dual voltage.

I have two questions, which are pretty simple:

1) Where can I find a Wii power supply that uses 220v?
2) Can I use a transformer temporarily? Problem with it is that it can take 50W, and the Wii's power supply is 52W. Is that OK to use for one day?

Please note that I am talking about the Nintendo Wii, not the Nintendo Wii U.

It's kind of funny how my Nintendo 64 is dual voltage, and my Nintendo Wii is not...

No one?

The transformer will most likely be alright and be able to support a 52 watt draw when it's rated for 50 watts. I would suggest rewiring an outlet with a 120v circuit but to my knowledge you might not have a neutral over there which would make that impossible.

Rewiring isn't really my thing...
So will it harm the Wii if I try it?

And do you have any idea where to get the correct plug?
