You can also import it.
No need to pirate.
We here on GBATemp don't condone in piracy.
If the Wii is not hacked then there's no way to play it cause it's region locked.
You don't have to hack it.
You can also run an exploit and boot up a patcher to make the console region free.
Besides if OP said that he's going to resort to piracy then his Wii is most likely hacked.
But if the region free console gets updated then its bricked right?
Only if you permanently region change it.
Patching the region in RAM (correct me if I'm wrong) does nothing to the original region.
It'll happily load every region there is and after the Wii has shut down it'll be back to normal.
Its easier to pirate it lol
In other words: you do have to hack it.You don't have to hack it.

I think you meant to say "You don't have to pirate it". But even using an exploit in order to temporary do things nintendo didn't meant comes under the meaning of 'hacking'.
Interesting use of the word "We", as if you're speaking for the majority when, in fact, the general population of the board quite clearly condones piracy, actively encourages it and even facilitates it, only stopping short of actually hosting copyright content. A more accurate statement would be, "Some of us here on GBATemp don't condone piracy, whilst some of us give no fucks what others do. Carry on."You can also import it.

Wii games are still being published here in the UK, so you could always cross your fingers and hope. Other than that, your options are to pirate it or import it, as others have pointed out.

To "control" sales, which is a half-a**ed excuse. Hacking =/= piracy. Piracy is obtaining copyrighted material by illicit means, hacking is making (usually) software modifications to a console, which CAN (but doesn't always) lead to piracy. The two are not mutually exclusive, but purchasing a game from a different region and playing on a console with disabled region locking is hardly piracy.In the eyes of Nintendo it is piracy. Why would Nintendo put region locks on their systems in the first place if they did not have a problem with people buying imported games. lol.
