So, I am BRAND new to speedruns. I don't want to give a lengthy biography on my experience so I'll get right to my question.

I want to learn to speedrun Minish Cap but am trying to figure out the best way to do it. As I understand it the fastest platforms are:

GBA (Physical) > Wii (Virtual Console) / 3DS Virtual Console > VBA (emulator).

I want to run an NTSC version of the game which I understand to be the Japanese version of the game but being from the U.S. and new to speedrunning I am not sure about the best way of getting my hands on this version of the game.

If I purchase a Wii from Japan can I access the store to purchase the NTSC version from the store, or will I not be able to access the store being that I live in the U.S.

I'm sure this question may come off as basic to some experienced runners, but I was hoping someone could help me out.

Thanks!
