i could add NNID from JP,US,PAL to my Friend List so it's not locked.

eShop is region specific. i purchased Nano Assault and Trine 2 from US eShop with prepaid points card.

online play i guess will depends on per game basis but so far i don't think there's universal online yet.  eg. in NintendoLand you have Miis from all regions visiting but that is not exactly the multiplayer "gaming session" you probably referring to.

The thing is..... how do I say this....

I have a JP XBOX360, but my XBOX Live ID is set to Singapore.
In the arcade (Something like app-store la), I get to buy any game that is available, not specific to JP only.
Does Wii-U works like that?

i dunno exactly because i have not attempted such. but if u think about it... the games are region locked so i guess even if they let u download to the machine it won't run !

even worse if they let you do that, no ?

I think is pretty straight forward. jp wii u, use Japan apps. u.s. wii u, use u.s. apps. not like Psn and 360 where u can create other region account.

not sure if this was a coincidence or due to wear and tear but my 70 watt max stepdown adapter just died while I was playing the Wii U.

to be fair I have used it for almost 6 years and for quite a bit of long sessions

now I need to find 2 unit for replacement. any recommendations which spec would be good?

stringfellow, which max power stepdown did u get at jalan pasar the other day?

Take a look at ACE Hardware bro. Most of the pasar road items came from china. Cheap but quality control is bad too sometimes.

Ok. I reckon 150 or 200 watts max would suffice, right?

Not fond of step down adapter too huge or those bulky transformers.

Yangkuo, I got mine from Ace Hardware. I got the 300W. It's the size of 75% of a shoebox. Your 70W adapter died coz Wii U needs at least 75W. That is not calculating the inefficiencies during power stepdown. It's always safer to get a bigger wattage. You don't want a burnout.

Of course all of this is not since I'm getting the NZ Wii U for my birthday. tongue.gif


Added on December 16, 2012, 8:18 amJust got my white Wii U Basic Edition from Bond&Bond Queen St. Auckland. Best thing is, ........ *drumroll* NZD399! Steal! Price slashed from NZD469.99! Woohoo!

Serving jellies since 2003! Now even the entire world is jelly, since they can't get the Nexus 7 dock and I can. All they can do is troll my YouTube video with spammy comments til I had to disable comment. They now spread their jealous cancer to my other YouTube videos. Sad this world is. Tsk tsk tsk.
