Okay, so.

I live in the UK, but I shall be moving to the US later this year.

I'd really like to grab a Wii U while the promotion is on, and was wondering if I could buy a US Wii U, use it in the UK and still get the promotion and online capabilities?

I know I'd need to buy ntsc games for them to work, but I figured it's better to do it this way then buy two consoles or whatever.

Thanks in advance duders.

That sounds like something you should be able to do, but don't quote me on that. Which promotion were you hoping to take advantage of? The Mario Kart one or the Deluxe Digital thing? Either way that seems like a lot of effort for a small reward, lol.

I don't really know what promotion you mean, but I was told if I got the US version of Mario Kart 8 for my PAL Wii U, I'd need a US Club Nintendo account to take advantage of the "free game" promotion. So as long as you set one up as US-based from the get-go, you'll probably be fine.

Probably. This is Nintendo's online system.

What promotion are you talking about?

Ah, sorry for the confusion, I mean the free game promotion
