aqua, do you have a list of stuff to know on the Wii and Wii2 versions since I just got my Wii today and my first priority is getting Taiko Wii and Wii2 to work... I'll do that research on my own though, since I'm not sure if a US Wii could play a JP game. Plus I think it would take me a month before I get the games anyway, unless there was a way to piratehax it like download and burn (but I really want the Tatacon D:)
US Wiis definitely CANNOT play JP games by normal means, since it's going to ask for a System Update.
DO NOT UPDATE YOUR WII FIRMWARE WITH FIRMWARE FROM A DIFFERENT REGION. Once you do that, it's ruined for good.
I worked around it using the Homebrew Channel. I don't know how you can install it using a Wii of a newer firmware, so just google it and find the official site for the instructions.
Once you get it installed, look for 'Neogamma backup loader'(either .dol file or .wad file, if you get the .wad file you'll need to use another application known as the WAD Manager to install it directly onto your Home menu) and just follow what the website tells you to do and you'll should be fine.
It says 'backup loader' but it also plays genuine games, bypassing the region lock and bypassing any and all unwelcome system updates.
Wii/Wii2 have four save files(Miis), though all the unlockables are controlled as one- if you unlock something using a profile it's unlocked for everyone else. All the songs are unlocked as you play through the game- the Dojo is there for getting new sounds/costumes. You play, you fill up a tamashii bar on Don-chan(Wii1) or Arumi-chan(Wii2). Once they level up, you get something new- costumes(Wii2), sounds, songs, boss battles(Wii2). Finish Wii1's story and you get to play as all the forms of Don you get throughout the game. So there's so Story Mode per se, it's all integrated into the regular play mode.
New songs are also unlocked by racking up the Hit Counter(like in DS2), except in Wii, the rewards for filling it up to 99999 are much, much richer. All 10 2000 songs in Wii1 are unlocked simultaneously when you reach 99999, and all 9 Ura difficulties are unlocked simultaneously in Wii2 when you reach 99999.
