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.

thanks for the info. I bought the 200w stepdown from Ace Hw. about 25% shoebox size LOL
Assuming we got same make n brand, what do we set the switch behind that toggles between 110v and 220v options? I suppose that is input from wall outlet so it should be 220v ... BTW, happy belated birthday  QUOTE(stringfellow @ Dec 16 2012, 07:28 AM) 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. 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! |

For Malaysia it's voltage out at 110V since we're using 240V. Read the manual for confirmation. Please be careful on this.

Ok, it was the input voltage so we'd have to set it to 220v. There was no paper manual just rough instructions outside the box.
The output plug slots will auto convert to 110v when the switch is set as such. Back in business .. Hehe |

I bought mostly from Kyo. But he has only USD20 prepaid cards I think.
Can also find them at online stores nowadays but they usually charge a higher premium. QUOTE(stevenplc @ Dec 16 2012, 05:59 PM) Bro. Where to buy the Nintendo eshop usd prepaid code ya? |

ZombiU is good. Enjoying the pace and constant need for awareness.
Definitely survival horror and not run n gun fest. Get ready to use fingers to tap the screen though as it has a lot of integrated touch screen elements. My first player was named Blake LEE, Male, 29, Architect. I survived over an hour and ironically I died after stepping on my own landmine LOL instead of being eaten by the infected ...

Happy to report that the screen protector from Nintendo itself is working great. Comes with a large stylus and cleaning cloth too. Quite easy to apply and comes with item to remove specks of dust on gamepad screen before application.
I think it's the same set that Stringfellow bought from Japan few weeks back. This post has been edited by yangkuo: Dec 18 2012, 06:36 PM |
