You would need to have programming knowledge, and know a bit about how the Wii/GC hardware works. So basically, a degree in Computer Science/or similar or more.

It's not impossible, but it helps an awful lot. You could try reading up on how to program C/C++, but you'd also need just general background info on how computers work at the low levels to get clean/decent looking code.

I suggest starting with programming on a PC using MS .NET framework or developing a simple flash program. You need to do a series of small steps before tackling something big such as Wii/Gamecube homebrew.
