  I dont think so.
  Since Wii U is region locked.

  Where you bought the console, should be the same where to buy games for it.

  With an adapter for the plug, it will work here, just need to get your games from amazon etc

  Or you could buy your games digitally from the eShop.

    yeah, cept note that the e-shop sucks. Games are always far more expensive than you find in stores, you cant trade them in and not that many titles are even available.

      I thought all games were digitally released nowadays and I was under the influence that the US eShop was quite cheap and well stocked on games.

  I would advise against this. Generally if you get a dud one the warranty is useless in Australia. They're discontinuing the Wii U as it's been a failure sales-wise. Hold off until Xmas and you'll see them heavily discounted.

    Really? Discontinuing you say? Where's the source and why are Nintendo still making games for it? That, doesn't make sense.

    Making up stories and posting it on the internet is so in these days.

  Is it possible to buy games off the American Eshop if you have a PAL Wii U?

    Nope.

  Where and how are you importing your Wii U from the state? I am trying to find a NSTC Wii U as well but they are generally more expensive than what they selling locally, because of the shipping fees.

  Yeah the shipping fees killed the deals:(

  I've spoken to catch of the day about having a wii u deal and they said keep an eye on their page and they are gonna speak to the buyers

    Yeah but they will only have one available for sale.

  I've had US Nintendo Consoles since GCN. Currently use the Eshop for my Wii U. Getting $5 back each $50 I spend has really helped lower the price (DDP Program) and also allows me to get games a heck of a lot earlier.

  Only downside is that your location (as in on the console itself) has to be somewhere in America as you can't select from another region.

  If for some reason I do purchase physical copies i'd go estarland.com (I miss dvdboxoffice)

    How do you get your US Wii U? Ebay?

      I got it when I was over there :( does Estarland ship?
