i am masuk.

they don't really optimized wii u capability? like how? and what is supposed to be wii u's capability?

the official adapters are not officially available for sale from external shops i believe. nintendo's online store may carry them but i am not sure if SG/MY/ASI will have that kind of online store service.

if you send the machine in for repair or ask them to replace a faulty adapter then probably they will sell u one (official distributor).

if you can find official AC adapters outside it's also because the seller/shop got it from say another console unit (which they swapped out with 3rd party items).

if it was easy to get official ac adapters i guess everyone will just buy n use the PAL official (UK/AUS) adapters here in MY. anyway, you can buy 3rd party 100-240v 3rd party ac adapters now for the console n gamepad charger.

wii u pro controller uses USB charging so that should be easy.


if you don't want 3rd party then make sure you get a 100W and above stepdown. the ones supplied by sellers here (at least pioneering batches) will not last ... if u r lucky only the stepdown will explode.

for those still on the fence or about to get the console ...

ZombiU and NBA 2K13 Demo INCOMING @ the e-Shop !

the issue explained earlier was related to stepdown adapter and not the AC adapter itself. the supplier was providing a max 70W output stepdown converter.

70W output is sufficient to power Wii and the GamePad's AC adapter. the Wii U's AC adapter needs 75W.

so basically the 70W converter was working overtime all around and it died soon after.



if the seller is now providing a 100-240v capable AC adapter (3rd party) then you basically won't need to use the stepdown converter. not all sellers are providing that option as yet perhaps.

after you download and start playing the first time ... please let us know here if you survived during the very beginning of the "tutorial stage"

of course i'm just assuming the demo will start from that early segment...

i was downloading the NBA2K13 Demo in the background while playing Ninja Gaiden RE fine last night so i suppose the servers are ok.

i won't know if the system update servers are the same with those running e-Shop and related NNID services but it seemed alright pass few days.


perhaps you could check which DNS servers u r using ? if default streamyx/unifi ones may give intermittent issues. OpenDNS or Google DNS usually more consistent for me.

to a certain extent it might also be the wifi transmission between console and wifi router (interference). depends on channel/frequency in use and what other devices u have within the same range. even if other device can connect fine ... doesn't mean console wifi to router cannot be interfered.

based on historal info it's more like he has a faulty purchasing decision logic

it should be Wii (all) WIN !! come come, we welcome U

perhaps no one has a way of knowing what will be the "right" answer for your so called "dilemma". maybe that's y u still don't see any suggestions ...

buying into Nintendo is not exactly how the normal factors and considerations apply to other brands (especially in non-US, JP and UK/AUS regions ... more so in country like M'sia)

btw, irregardless if wii u becomes obsolete or not when pray station 4 arrives (say in 2014) u still have same problem of even more games to buy than the time to finish if u continue like how u r now. don't see how it factors at all to your purchase decision of wii u...

well, no matter what your reasons and justification... if u finally decide to buy one here's a few points :-

1. RM1480 with Mario U sounds very much like only the Wii U Basic Set (8GB no-frills pack). u might want to buy the Deluxe Set if you are in it for long run and typically interested in more games in the future. also comes with NintendoLand (game), some nice to have accessories and digital download promo option (time limited)

2. ZombiU u can get from a seller in LYN forum for much less than RM220.

if waiting is suffering ... u know what to do. u can wait forever for a "good deal" ... something is as good as what u can do with it ... not just how much u get it for

encountered a rather scary situation with the wii u today.

switched the console on (after few days of being turned off) everything was normal.

checked Miiverse and moved around the Home menu for about 10minutes. then pressed Power Off on the GAMEPAD.

the GamePad turned off (no error msg or anything) but the console light stayed ON ! it was still blue light. had no other choice but to power off from AC/transformer.

after 30 seconds i attempted to power on with the GamePad again... but it says 'Cannot connect to the Wii U console. Please move closer'.

i suspected perhaps it was some interference in the house... so i ultimately switched off iPad, phone, etc. i also unplugged the AC cord from console and replug. i also put the GamePad back on the charging cradle to charge.

then i could power on till the Home menu. but then there was horrible lag/stuttering for a short period on the GamePad display.... like a bad streaming signal.

i sure hope this is not a hardware related issue.

or perhaps it's just common behaviour to imply something is really so bad and failing by just hearing or seeing some "problem" described.

sometimes, the feeling of "regret" is not just how bad you perceive the situation is but maybe due to how much (or less) you appreciate that thing u have. oh, i forgot ... u dun really care anyway...

*self ponder* "more than 10 games within 2 month period ... is considered "not enough" ... i wonder if it will ever be ..."

Bit Trip presents: Runner 2 is highly recommended ! Bravo, Gaijin Games
