Chipping the Wii to remove the region locking I guess? Voids your warranty though.

They have not looked to deeply into thus far, can chipping be done and how much/any experience?

Google Wii softchip. $30 and looks easy, but this post doesn't constitute a warranty of any type.

Wiis can be sotmodded for free - there is a variety of confusing information available on the relavent forums. Google will steer you in the right direction. Softmodding to play a Japan region game is probably legal

Yes as others have said it's the software that needs modifying. There are various routes such as freeloader to allow a PAL Wii to play JAP & NTSC games. All will void your warranty with Nintendo. I used to mod PS2's & XBox's but haven't dabbled with Wii too much, the text could well be in Japenese though, shouldn't matter too much on a Mario game. Hope they get it going and have fun.
