We have a Japanese Wii. We can read some Japanese but it’s annoying to navigate through all the menu items with our lousy Japanese.

So, the Goonfather got fed up and started taking screenshots of all the menus and went searching through the Nintendo manual for the English versions to compare with. And the result of his labour is this 28-page pdf document with translations and a guide on customising all sorts of settings!

Download the Wii English-to-Japanese translation now.

And if it helps you, thank the Goonfather!

Love, Sheylara

    To Jim:

    You semi-bricked your Wii, just like I did. . . .

    semi-bricked = “When a wrong firmware is installed that doesn’t correspond the region of Wii then it is said that your Wii is semi-bricked. The games will load as usual but you can’t change any settings.”

    Rock Band, is NTSC-U/C and my Wii’s NTSC-J . Meaning, the Wii’s from Japan and it’s not in the same region as the Rock Band game [Hence U.S.A]

    When popping in the Rock Band disc, my Wii tried to update its firmware from it. Rock Band’s update is 3.3, sadly my Japanese Wii isn’t, and therefore the game/ update semi-bricked my Wii.

    I tried Freeloader [Jpn] it doesn’t work, Rock Band has the update of 3.3. Freeloader doesn’t work with games that have updates with 3.3.

    When I popped Rock Band into my Wii, I got a blank screen too.

    Since 3.3 is the last update, I’d have to wait until Japan gets a different update. I’ve asked around, people told me to wait about 2 months? >.<;;
