NTSC and PAL are the color encoding systems for video used in North American and Europe respectively. The color encoding isn't as much of a problem as the region coding used for Wii and other games. A game encoded for use in the US will not work on a machine that is made for the European market.
The restriction is purely a commercial one and designed to prevent games intended for one market being sold in another.
