The only way I know is by changing your wii's region
You will need Any Region Changer to do that. However, in order for this to work, you must format the shop channel account (due to Nintendo being assholes and adding in extra secruity).
Anyway:
1 - Format the Wii Shop Channel account (have to go into the Wii Shop Channel Online to do this).
Note: At this point, do not go back into the Wii Shop Channel, otherwise it will just create a new US Channel accont.
2 - Using Homebrew, open Any Region Changer (
google it).
3 - Change the Country Code to '01'.
4 - Save changes and exit to the Wii Menu.
5 - Now go back into the Wii Shop Channel. Just follow the instructions (most of it will be in English) and it will create a Japan Wii Shop Channel accont.
6 - Now you will need to purchase some Japanese Wii Points. I recommend getting them from
here.. I heard you can use a Credit Card (the ones the Wii accepts) but your security details won't be as safe unlike purchasing Wii Points using a credit card on the US Channel.
7 - Once you get some points, buy the require games. You will find that you can't actually play them (they will just say the Channel can't be used) so you will have to dump the Wii contents onto a SD Card using FS-Dumper using Homebrew. Then WAD Packer to make the WAD, Region free the WAD and reinstall! I'll post the require tools later on.
8 - Repeat Steps 1 -5 to go back to using the US Shop Channel. Any Region Changer mentions what the US country code is.
