South African gamers who have already taken the plunge and picked up Nintendo’s shiny new Wii U console have been concerned with the lack of a South African e-shop on offer.<\/p>\n
Plans for a South African e-shop are still “on the cards”, although it’s apparently in the hands of Nintendo Europe.<\/p>\n
Speaking with Core,\u00a0distributor\u00a0of Nintendo in South Africa, there is a way around the roadblock.<\/p>\n
Wii U buyers are urged to create a UK account in order to having access to all the content (paid and unpaid) available on the international store.<\/p>\n
Gamers will not only need to create a UK account, but will need to set their console to UK prior to anything.<\/p>\n
Selecting “UK” as your console region will allow you to create an account which can access the European e-shop and the content on offer.<\/p>\n
