Planning to get a Wii-U for playing MarioLand 3D and future Mario games. Sick of all the realistic graphics on my PC and XBOX.

Need some unrealistic looking graphic games to play.

Some questions:
1) Can it play Wii games? Can buy from online store?
2) Is it compatible with Wii controllers?
3) How many versions are there (Wii U) and the price roughly now?
4) Is there region lock for this console? Any particular region console i should buy? Or is it the console can play all region games?

Tq.

There is no FAQ link in the firat post bro. Maybe TS can improve it.

Anyway, thanks for the reply, now is matter to look for seller. Any recommended seller and shoos from KL or PJ?

Oh, you are seller. Pls pm me price for WiiU with Mario World.

You got PM. I can come over today or tomorrow. Pls whatsapp me. Contact in PM.

Tq.

Just bought WiiU yesterday:

Impression:
1) This thing is complicated for a 1st timer to Wii (never have a Wii). So many different controllers.
2) The WiiU gamepad is also complicated with so many stuff.
3) The console itself is slim and good!! Way smaller than my Xbox360!
4) WiiU gamepad quiet heavy. Cannot take with one hand for long period.
5) WiiMote Plus with nunchack, quiet ok to use (Additional item)

So far played Nintendo Land and SM3DWorld (a bit). Really enjoyable, playing with my 10 yrs old son. The WiiU gamepad seems to be a bit hit and miss…in some games (like Zelda Battlequest in NintendoLand, it’s quiet useful for the archer and a nice experience), in others like that Fruity drawing game, is kinda stupid and boring. Pikmin in Nintendoland is pretty good..had a good laugh when got eaten by the monster and dump out as shit and needs recue from your partner! LOL.
Tried: NETFLIX and HuluPlus. NETFLIX seems to stream at lower quality than possible on PC. HULUPLUS seems to have better quality and almost on par with PC. After watching for a few hours and playing, the console remains lukewarm. Impressive!
All in all, a worthwhile purchase, it’s all about Fun! I was really sick with all the serious games on my XB360 and PC. Great graphics don’t make great games. The first party Nintendo games alone makes it worthwhile. Who cares if there’s no “serious “ or 3rd party games….all those can be play on the PC. Glad I didn’t waste RM1.7k on a PC graphic card which does nothing but gives more frame rates!!!

This reminds me the excitement of the original Playstation and Sega Saturn.

Hopefully my Mario Kart 8 arrives tomorrow.

Yeah, was hunting high and low over a week...really kanasai...bought from WiiSeller. PM him, hopefully he still has stock.

Saw that game in videos and reviews, I don't like the graphics...Maybe need to wait for a true ZELDA game for the Wii U.

And i forgot to add, the initial system download is ridiculous. I think 1 hour 40 minutes or so. And i have an 8Mbps fibre internet. Waited 3 minutes only the first bar appears....at 70%+, i cannot tahan and boost my internet to 50Mbps....maybe helps a bit in the last 30%...

Really potong steam...then somemore each app have to update...Netflix, Hulu, Nintendoland etc....Zzzzz....

I read from the web a lot of people complains about the slow update.

No. Need to put that first ah?? It has system firmware update?

SM3D is the only game which doesn't need to download further software updates.

Fark!!!! What Slip!!!!

How come? Sounds like con job. Do you get NintendoLand as well? Should have Mario 3D + NintendoLand. How much did you paid for it?

Is this US region or Asian? The box says pre-installed, so should be ok i guess. How much did you pay for this?

rm 1.2k is good price. But if pre-install, means use a lot of the storage space, the 32GB storage space is really pathethic. With 2 games installed, maybe 8GB gone liao.

It will also means next time you cannot sell the games if you don't want it anymore.

Anyway, as long you can play now, enjoize!!

Mine come with this WiiFlow/Homebrew for the Wii Mode, interesting....

Y cable? Your hard disk cannot power ar? I have an old HDD casing with a HDD i rip off from old laptop, need a Y cable. But my WD Ultra passbook 1TB, does not need a Y cable, can run straight with one port. So to those looking to buy a HDD, can buy this model without hassle of Y cable.

Btw, can you store games on an SD card instead? Can you store on multiple location? Internal SSD + SD Storage card or Hard disk??

Huh? Mine come with a screen protector which fits exactly the Gamepad size wor. Your set dun have? Mine is US set.

But i suck at applying screen protector, made a lot of bubbles, have to rub very long and hard to push the bubbles to the edge. Still got a few bubble here and there.

I think you can buy WIIU screen protector from lelong.com

Usually, i buy screen protector for phone, i do it at the shop...ask the sales assistant do for me, they're very pro....

Wanna ask, is the Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker is only in e-Shop or is there retail copy?? Doesn't seems to be able to find retail disc copy...

How much did you paid?

No need so complicated lar...just buy e-shop card locally and top up your credits.

Just bought usd50 eshop credit just now...its cheaper than current exchange rate today if pay by credit card...lol...gonna buy Captain Toad tonight perhaps...but download will take forever given Nintendo ridiculously slow server even when you have a fast internet.

Took about half an hour or so to download on an 8Mbps line....Zzzz...Installation also took about 10 minutes!!! This WIIU installation and downloading really slow...

Paid RM 143.97 for it.

Oh yeah, to those intending to buy from eshop, make sure you put your US code to a tax free state...if you put your address and zip code to a taxable tax, will need to pay the tax!!!

What is this??? Some free points?

I have 2 WIIMote+ nunchuk already...playing lots of WII games.... I never have a WII b4.
