I think something like Freeloader might still work on the Wii. Or you'll have to get a Wii Freeloader when they release one. Or you could just play them on a GameCube

The consoles will most likely be hard coded to connect automatically to their own region's wii site for downloads, so it you import a jap version it will most likely contact a japanese site even tough you'd be situated in the UK or NZ.
Good news that they are making official RGB and Component cables, I'll be buying a component cable at release if they get them out for sale by then. |

As far as regional VC games goes, I found an executable some time back which allows you to alter the regional coding of Super Nintendo ROMs, it was originally made for converting ROMs to regionally acceptable formats for hardware like the Super WildCard (the Lilith of all ROMs). I'm just looking for a suitable link, but if anyone is interested you can PM me and I'll send it over to you.
