I am considering buying a Wii U. Would a good place to buy it be from deanwong? If I do buy a Wii U, what are the recommended other accessories should I get? Would it be a good idea to get those rechargeable packs if I got Wiimotes as well?

Thanks for reading.

(Is this the right place to ask this question? If not, then sorry for asking it)

I am eyeing on the Mario + Luigi Wii U bundle, mostly because it's essentially two games in one.

Also, could you show me what a "dust stopper rubber" is like? Is it like one of the protective cases for protecting the gamepad? Also, would a screen protector be a good idea as well?

When you say Pro Controller, only one will do, then?

Thanks for reading.

If I were to get the US bundles, do I need an adapter to use it? I got the impression that the package is unmodified, and thus isn't compatible to Malaysian power points.

Also another question: since I still use a traditional Sony SD TV, do I need specific composite cables?



Looks like an interesting item. Perhaps it would be a good way to prevent dusty situations. Would a gamepad protector be useful as well?

I see. It seems that only one Pro Controller would do, in that case. The battery from Playzone is Japanese. Would that work well with the Wii U Gamepad from the US?

Thanks for reading.

I didn't have a Wii console before, so might as well get Wii U since that's basically an upgrade. It's backwards compatible, so any Wii games could still be enjoyed (and I doubt I can find GC games anyway).

Thanks for reading.

I can see how it's ideal since it's convenient with everything in the package, but considering that Wii U is backwards compatible, I could still play previous Wii games on it. I could go and find new cables if necessary, as well as a few WiiMotes. Besides, if there is an HDTV available, then it's possible to use it straight away.

Thanks for reading.

So I am planning on certain purchases, with this as a list (all have links except the last one):

- Mario and Luigi Bundle
- Gamepad Battery
- Pro Controller
- Extra Wiimote + Nunchuk (2)
- Wiimote Battery Packs (2) [Each has two per product, but the other is a spare]
- Gamepad Cover
- Starter Pack (mainly screen and cover)Cover Starter Pack
- Video Cable
- MY to US Power Adaptor

Other games will come later. For now, is this fine?

Thanks for reading.

I wanted to make sure I have the necessary items first before getting to the games.

As for sites, Playzone seems like it could be trusted because it looks like a certified retailer. That seller seems to have other people trusting them, so I figured he could be trusted, though I never have done any shopping before. You're saying that there is a possibility there is a reason not to trust them?

Thanks for the advice about gamepad covers. Maybe rough use could be a problem so that's something to consider. Unfortunately for that cover I linked, it doesn't seem to be of any particular brand. It does look rather stylish, though. Would it be safer to go for a trustworthy brand instead, like say, Hori?

You sure that adapter you are referring to is RM140? Sounds more expensive than I imagine an adapter would normally be priced. Not saying that it's impossible, but wanted to know that what you are saying isn't a typo.

For now, it looks like the Mario + Luigi bundle is still available, so I'm hoping I could get it.

So it's a good idea to inquire about the product's warranty and guarantees to the seller, then. Is that the best way to check?

Thanks for reading.

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.

I haven't got any eShop credit to do that, and it will take some time to get the code, so I am still unsure about how I'm getting it. Is setting up online easy?

Thanks for reading.

Is the latest system update safe? I heard of some accounts of problems involving Smash Bros. and something else (I forgot).

Also, what do you mean by softmod to play off from hard disk?

Thanks for reading.

Did any of you create a Club Nintendo account, even in Malaysia? If yes, what did you put in your details, and is it alright if it's inserted? Is the information transferred to the new loyalty programme?

Thanks for reading.

In terms of getting retail games, I find Deanwong from Lelong to be the most reliable source for Wii U games, based on my search. Others that are OK include Saveall and Impulse, since they have a few games that are cheaper than some of Deanwong's offerings. Online Game Store looks to have nice deals with games, but it seems that the ones I want are out of stock already.

Curve Studios is currently having a discount. I got Stealth Inc. 2, but now I am not sure what should I get between The Swapper and Lone Survivor. Any suggestions?

Thanks for reading.

I have to agree that physical copies seem hard to get, especially if you are getting it physically. Even in online, you have to look around and see if the suppliers have any, because the cheaper ones are hard to come by.

Has anybody bought Wii U games from e-Playzone? If yes, what do you think of that place? I've recently ordered a bunch of stuff there, but it seems that some of the things I ordered do not have stock (only two have stock as of now). I haven't gotten them as I prefer to get them one shot, since I do have quite a number of games already, so I can wait.

On another note, has anybody here played WarioWare: Smooth Moves? I heard it's a very good game, but it seems that nobody really sells that in Malaysia? Is there a possibility it becomes available in the eShop?

Thanks for reading.
