Would you pay $240? Well that's the price that some folks are willing to pay according to this ebay auction. The recent mass sellouts of SSBB in Japan are leading to the same acts of extortion seen during console launches. I don't blame the guys for trying to make an extra buck.
This seems like a big misunderstanding to me or something. I can't help but think that maybe the inside of the case is filed with cocaine or something and this is all part of a giant smuggling ring. The drug smugglers probably sniveled at the genius of their plan thinking, "No one would ever pay this much for a videogame, no one will ever figure out our plot!" But they obviously didn't know any Nintendo fanboys.
Seriously folks, is one month of waiting really so bad that it's worth it to pay an extra $200 (shipping included) to get a copy that you won't be able to even understand?
Look, we're all pumped about finally getting to see Solid Snake put a Pokemon in a sleeper hold, but be patient. In the words of the great Treebeard, "Don't be hasty."
In just a little over a month you'll be able to get your hands on a fully comprehensible, and relatively budget priced version for your own enjoyment.

Can you even play a Japanese version on an American (or European) wii? I can wait the month (I hope ;) )
No, you can't. The Wii is region coded. So either these people have Japanese Wii's, or they're getting a savage burn.
Or they have WiiKey. And honestly, I wouldn't pay that much, but if I did have a key and it was half that price I deffinitly would jump at the offer. Call me hasty all you want, but I am dieing for this game!
I would pay exactly uh ............zero dollars to play it.
let's see. if i was going to import it I'd ask myself two questions...
Is it coming out reasonably soon where I live? Yes
Can I read Japanese? No
Hmmm...I think I'll pass thanks XD
The delay for americans may be somewhat understandable (or not!) but look at us Europeans guys. So stop whining that you'll have to wait a month or whatever, when we have to wait until the 3rd quarter at best!
God damn!
I think I could wait. I've waited this long, so another month is like a day-and-a-half. And Jedi, gtfo.
I think somebody would have to pay me.
I would pay around 100 for it... for 240 you can get a whole new wii, jesus
@hoboman
Your comment reads like you're addressing jesus, informing him of his purchasing options.
