Tempted to buy one already smile.gif Early adopters have to pay a much bigger amount though huhu sad.gif Let's say the MY/ SG Asian WiiU version on the way, would the price will be much cheaper for the Asian set? Would like to get some input from you guys biggrin.gif

And would you guys recommend whether to get it now or maybe later? Since early batches is prone to hardware defects etc.

The reason I'm asking is because I've forked almost RM900 when I bought my 3DS back in April 2011, since then the price for the 3DS have went down. But I'm not regretting it at all though hehe thumbup.gif

Really? I certainly didn't.

Hehe, except for you biggrin.gif I guess the price shouldn't be that far off from the price that is being offered right now. As for Asian set, I'm assuming it won't be eligible for Club Nintendo points rite? Or maybe NNID would be structured in a way so that for those regions without Club Nintendo memberships would get the same benefits just like regions having one?

I've seen posts at Neogaf forum mentioned about setting the country to Canada in order to add funds using a foreign credit cards. Has anyone tested this?

My Brazil trick doesn't work ah? http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/375556/all

Iinm, it doesn't work anymore since few forumers here recently purchased 3DS points using their CC, the banks charged them but the funds didn't appear at the eShop. Maybe I'm wrong though.

nomuken, I've changed the country of residence to Canada (option D), but the country for the user account cannot be changed. My previous country of residence is US btw. Do you need to setup a new account profile and still using the same NNID? The reason I didn't delete my current user profile with the same NNID until now because I'm afraid the NNID that I'm currently using cannot be used anymore since it's already tied to country of residence (US) @ Nintendo server.

I hv tried both Malaysia n US zip code result same

Malaysia and US country settings won't work, have experienced it myself huhu. I got the succesful sms message from Maybank but in my CC bill, the transaction was not being charged.

Btw, you need to set the country settings to Canada, and then choose one of the states from Canada. Preferably states that impose lower taxes, and only then you can successfully use your Malaysian CC to add funds in the WiiU eShop.

Hope that helps.

Anyone who has the Japanese Fit Meter, can you tell me how much Japanese text is in it? Or do they use English for all text?  (fit meter, not the actual game)

The menu is in English. Hope that helps :-D
