is mario kart 8 pre installed in the console? or need to redeem the code?

if use code to redeem, how nintendo know the set is asian or us?

or maybe, need to redeem the code using the account without wii u registered..

oh my...without the nintendo code is a bad sign (ASI set)...

feels bad for you bro..you could sell it cheap and buy another one with code...or buy from this guy

goodluck!

no wonder nintendo could recognize an asia set

but in nintendo terms and condition, the offer only applies in US and CAN...even if youre US citizen resides in malaysia, you cant take advantage from the offer (i think la)..so i guess nintendo can have your ip address and take it as malaysian ip

heck, its just a theory tho..im not sure but when case like this appear, i strongly believe they did track the ip...

glad someone can offer a helping hand

true!

but i guess nintendo clarifies REGION, not CITIZENSHIP....so, if youre malaysian resides at US, then you eligible to participate vice versa, if youre american, resides at singapore, you will not get the free games...

sad

its about time

weh aku pun nak! (tak malu punya orang )

nice! the games is pre loaded or physical form? you got stock?

i dont think retailers here in malaysia carry japanese wii u. need to ask them to help import from japan.

as for the voltage, buy the step down transformer..any hardware shop got stock.

eh? i tot malaysian voltage is 220 so need to reduce to 110 correct?

for me it is pro controller cause the battery is awesome! (nearly a month without need to recharge).

and the gamepad is too bulky and heavy leh..hard to play while lying on the sofa...

softmod the vwii to play the wii games from the hd...wii u cant be modded yet

I play my wii games now without any monitor n tv thanks to the wii u gamepad

Heck,even can play gba roms too! love my wii u! yeah!

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.

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