Hey thanks for the replies.

I'll check out on the converters and as a few people about it

As for the Wii U JP console itself, it seems like it will be quite hard to find in Malaysia so I'm planning to get it from Japan directly when I visit there. Do I have to pay additional import duties bringing a console into Malaysia?

Thanks.

I've got relatives living in Canada. Is it true I can get a US Wii U unit and use their Canadian address.. then use my credit card to purchase stuff from the Eshoo?

In any case, can I just whack anything for a US address.. I know Kyo's FAQ stated that you can just use Google ... I have no idea how.

Why not just put US? Tax free state? I purchased the gamecard points...sure will be cheaper than credit card...later come statement, RM dropped some more....

Better stock up on eshop cards....i bought at RM3.60 rate...higher rate than current RM value. (now already RM 3.6x)

Bought Captain Toad last night, tax free.

I haven't gotten my Wii U yet, but if I were to set it up, what considerations do I need to do?

I heard about setting up the country, and how it's best to set it to US (for the eShop benefits mainly). If I were to do this, am I stuck with the US tag?

Also, if I were to do a system update, how long would that take?

Since I might get it today or tomorrow, it's too bad I missed out on the Super Mario Galaxy 2 promotion.

Thanks for reading.
