petewhitley posted:So I'm vacationing in the U.S. (from Japan) and picked up an XL with a handful of games. I was a little disappointed, but expecting, that my Japanese credit card was declined in the U.S. eShop. Is there any workaround to this? The part where I get rejected is the zip code of course. It's limited to 5 digits which of course doesn't jive with my 7 digit zip code. Any good reliable online shops that email codes? I can pick up a card or two right now but I'll inevitably run out before I come back around these parts. It's not just the zip. The American Eshop blocks non-USA credit cards, and even if your zip would have been 5 digits the card would have rejected. It wasn't always the case, but it is now. Which is a bummer. I use Maximus Cards for 3DS Eshop credit. They charge a premium (24 bucks for a 20 bucks code), but they deliver the code quickly, and i never had any problems with them (been using the site for 3DS and Xbox codes for a few years now, and all the codes worked straight away, not like other sites that tend to send used codes from time to time).

PaletteSwappedNinja posted:I don't think you can switch countries on Wii U like you can on 3DS - as far as I know, you're stuck with whichever location you pick during the initial system setup. I actually try to change countries yesterday (from UK to Germany), which yielded in strange results: I could change my location in the settings menu, but after i did it the console wouldn't agree to connect to the internet. When i changed it back to UK the internet worked fine. I believe the problem is user based - my user is registered with a UK NNID, so it can't connect to the german servers or something. Will probably try this again with a new user some time in the future, but for now i decided to go back to UK and suck up high prices in the Eshop.
