HI, was thinkin of gettin one Wii soon but got some doubt to clear 1st. In my country there Jap and Local set... they say Jap set upgrade firmware can read the menu in English(How to go about doin that??)
The solderless chips with the wii clip just clips right on top of a chip and you can do it yuorself http://www.wiiclip.com i believe explain them for you. Most places do them pre-soldered now A word of warning - the new Wii's come with a resin on them to stop you from soldering anything onto the chips and it makes life a lot harder. They also changed the chip type : http://gbatemp.net/?act=ST&f=101&t=51780
If you are interested in getting an english menu, you will have to change the region of your console.
