I have a modded JPN Wii, but I never tried to play any US games till today -- GH III. I got DBZ, US version and put that in as a test, and it worked. Happy and excited, I torn open my GHIII box and popped in the disc. Some Japanese text (a huge 10 line message) popped up, and something started downloading. I wasn't sure what it was, perhaps a firmware update, so I quickly rebooted. I tried multiple times, and yet the same thing happened. I haven't proceeded w/the update since i"m not sure if it was coming from the disc or the 'net. So I left my Wii in standby, hoping for the firmware update over the net. So, any fellow hardcore importers face a similar situation? And if so, what have you done? This is sweet. I have a modded JPN Wii, but I never tried to play any US games till today — GH III.

BTW, the link above is for the UK site, that's why it didn't take US orders, no biggie. Awesome, I just placed an order for it, $27 including shipping.

Believe it or not, I'm going to order several Jpn Wii games tonight, and I'm not going to update my Wii until I finish those games!

Please keep us posted if you get a response from Datel. I'm very interested in grabbing this, but not if it's going to get broken on a firmware update. Nice.
