Trying to configure my Japanese Wii has been difficult at times. Due to the Japanese containing lots of Mandarin characters my girlfriend has been able to translate a lot of the menu options but it’s still quite hit-and-miss with a lot of the options. Against the difficulties I’ve managed to configure wirelesss and access the online store, but I’m still quite lost in the menus, especially on my own.

Today I found a site that covers a lot of Japanese language that is directly related to gaming. Japanese for Gamers covers common Japanese for reading game magazines, using game menus, RPG, Sports and strategy games and gaming companies. After a quick look I can already recognise some of the options that I’ve seen in the Wii menus. I’ll fire up the Wii later and see if I can put them to the test.

The site is a geocities site, so I’ve Vacuumed it just in case it dissapears. If it does I’ll post up the archive. If there’s any more resources for import game players please post them in the comments.
