Yes with the usual plug adaptor or whilst in UK buy a UK connector.

Well you cannot buy one in the Uk at the moment as they have run out!

Buy two in Spain and sell one in the UK for a huge profit!

And yes, a Spanish one will work in the UK.

Sadie it will work fine with UK games.
We got one last xmas from UK and play Spanish games ,no problems at all..
If you decide to buy games for it here,from a spanish shop..look on the back of the game and it will tell you what language you can change the game into-or will have the union jack symbol(which means you can change to english)stock up on batteries tho,as the nunchuck(hand held remote control joystick-uses loads of batteries)
It is a fantastic piece of fun,that everyone enjoys... :D :D

Thank you all for replies, got one today from PC City but Carrefour & Eroski all has them too, so I was almost tempted to do as

They must be about in some places in UK, my daughter in law has just bought one. Must admit I didn't have a clue what she was talking about, never heard of it! :D

Maybe they are deliberately drip feeding them onto the market to keep the price high. I use Canon cameras, and certainly when the new, expensive DSLR's hit the market, the situation is always the same, very few to start with, just enough to satisfy a few and keep the interest and price high.
