Thanks for the heads up bro.

Hi guys,

Newbie to wii u. Just got a US set. I notice it state 120v on both adapters. Is it safe to use for our local voltage or need a stepdown transformer? I dont wana fry my wii u...

Dey, FAQ pigi baca.

Haha sorry just noticed it.

After reading your awesome FAQ, I have another question about the external drive. Do you have any recommendations on brands or type of external hdd to get? Should I buy self-powered hdd or those small portable external hdd?

Either one still works, and no brands preference either in my opinion.

So you're the one who brought that used set. How much he sell to you?

rm1080 including the pro controller. Where you intending to get from him too?

Nah just asking. Got already for myself. Good price though

Ah ok, Thanks. Do you know anyplace I can buy accessories like screen protector or gamepad casing? It seems wii u stuffs are hard to comeby...

Screen protector = buy Tablet screen protector from Daiso but have to cut the shape.
Gamepad casing = be ignorant about gamepad scratches. I always keep my gamepad after use, less risk of dropping.

Import

No need self powered hdd. Too messy. I have this WD Passport external HDD. Works fine with single connection. No need external power. Just get this.

Thanks for suggesting a brand bro. I eill hunt for one.

WD Pssport Ultra to be precise.

Guys. Need a bit of help here. My mariokart 8 disc suddenly can't be read. Even after cleaning also cant read, but my sm3dworld even if dirty can be read. Is there a problem?

found some guy post a solution here

try it and goodluck!

1. Removed MK8 disc from drive
2. Go into your storage management and delete ALL MK8 files (DLC, Mercedes pack, Update, Shared, Save data) - you are going to lose all your tracks and things you've earned so be warned.
3. Turn off the Wii U
4. Unplug the Wii U from the power (I left it unplugged for over 24 hours as the first time I tried unplugging it for 10 minutes it did not work).

5. Plug the Wii U back in
6. Check to see if there are MK8 files in your storage management
7. Put MK8 disc back in the drive
8. Select MK8
9. Let the auto-update run and see if the game plays now (this is the part I could never get to until I left it unplugged for over 24 hours after erasing the data)

10. If it plays go ahead and exit out and you should see MK8 data in storage management now (Update, Shared, Save data)
11. Download DLC and let it update. I stood beside it the whole time to make sure it didn't somehow shut off/sleep.
12. See if the game plays now and the new DLC is there
13. Exit game
14. Download Mercedes DLC (if you had it) and let it update
15. Play game if it is working and get all those tracks/racers back that you lost.

Whoah! Very risky if can't redownload back all the dlc.
Gonna try later. Thank bos.

no problem. goodluck and please report here if success or failed ya..wanna know too

Tried it for 1 hour, not working. Will try unplugged for 1 whole day.
Haish, the one game i bought dlc for and it becomes this. Sadness
