Unfortunately the Wii is region locked, so unless you have a Japanese Wii you won't be able to play Smash Bros.

I was gonna import it, until I heard the Wii was region locked. I don't want to have to pay for Japanese games, ontop of the american games. american + Japanese games= too expensive :P.

It's always the regional and population issues... Languages have to be set/changed... Settings for different regions need to be adjusted.. Making a large-enough supply of software for the public... Priceless!

You just need a Japanese one. Or better yet, get more than one.

I have three. A Euro, US and UK one. So I'm sorted.

Playing Brawl's a little confusing with language-wise. But you get past that.

You can purchase something called a WiiKey that allows you to play any JP,US game on any JP,US,PAL console, if i remember correctly. Google it.brilliance1900

Which is completly illegal and shouldnt be discussed on this forum.
