Wii and Japanese



At long last my son is getting interested in learning Japanese; but
like so many of his generation it's driven by games/anime. But I won't
complain because it means I can justify getting a Nintendo Wii; I like
games and the Wii is the only game system my wife also enjoys. I have
two questions:

1. Does anyone know if the Wii sold in the US will play games sold in
Japan?
2. What is a good Japanese-language site for games (similar to
gamespot.com)?

Thanks!

John W.
