`NTSC' is the acronym for the National Technical Standards Committee. That was the group that got together and standardized the TV signals for the United States so that TV stations would be compatible anywhere in the country. Of course, we `older TV technicians from the vacuum tube days' used to joke that it stood for, `Never the same color', because the tubes would wear out and change their value, causing color changes in the TV's.

Does the pal Nintendo Wii work on a ntsc television?
No, an NTSC telelvision will not display PAL signals properly. However, many modern telelvisions are multi standard and will show either PAL or NTSC signals. In these cases, using a PAL DVD output, for example, will work but note that there are potential problems with broadcast signals. Far fewer telelvisions have tuners built in that will work in multiple countries, so even if you have a multi-standard telelvision, you also need to confirm that you have a tuner capable of receiving broadcast signals from other countries, if you are planning on watching broadcast television.
What does video out NTSC mean?
There are two major color encoding formats. NTSC is the format used in North America, Japan and other countries. PAL is used in Europe and other countries. If a DVD player outputs a composite signal in NTSC format, it will need an NTSC compatible television to properly display the image. Many European televisions will handle either format but North American televisions are less likely to handle PAL signals. Additionally, DVD players have region codes that prevent discs from one region being played on a player from another region. European discs for example won't play on most North American players.
