Great review Neal, wondering is there still slowdown in framerate during general play? As it really annoyed me in ver 1.0.

TalkBack / Re: Wii U European VC: The 50Hz Debacle
« on: January 28, 2013, 07:45:49 AM »
I am not liking this 50hz VC again.
I am in Australia and only recently (about 6 months ago) had a first hand look at the difference as I have imported a US SNES. I loaded in Mega Man X and it hit me
how much smoother and fluid the game is. It makes you appreciate the game on another level.
In saying that I think it is unlikely that they will add a switch for 60/50, it may not be much work but I think there are only a handful of the population that will care. Here's hoping though.

« on: December 29, 2012, 06:15:51 PM »That's awesome that they resolved that despite the fact that the cards specifically say "Valid for use in the United States only."Definitely I was kinda surprised they didn't just point that out and send me on my way, but glad they did in the end.

Resolution!!! Finally and I couldn't be happier 
So the admin team contacted me via email and asked for scans of the cards, proof of purchase and serial number of my 3ds. After 2 business days I received an email stating that the $80 has been added to my eShop account and sure enough it had been. Merry Christmas to me, I can finally start purchasing items off the eShop again. Yay!

Just an update on this, I ended up calling Nintendo USA and explained the situation and one of the reps was really helpful, on the phone via skype for about 40mins, and he found that each of the cards had not been activated. Yay Walmart, so because I am in Australia he understood I couldn't simply return the cards.
Basically they have escalated the issue to the admin team who have now emailed me with a reference number to call back to sort the issue. Will call back tomorrow and hopefully will have an idea of what I am to do next.
I am hoping they just need some sort of proof I made the purchase, ie receipt or invoice number and then they can add the credit to my account or they can manually activate the cards from their end. Will let you know what happens.

Yes I just tried resetting the modem and I also changed my state/city to new york/new york so exactly the same as your set up. Tried a couple of different times and cards and same issue.
I called Nintendo of Australia just to get some information and based on what the rep told me.
* There is no IP blocking on eShop cards or anything like that, as long as the Card, the System and the Region is all the same then it should work regardless of where in the world you are accessing the internet.
* The main issue they see most often is when they are not activated at a store level.
She suggested I try calling the US support line and they can tell me whether they have been activated or not. I may try tomorrow if I am not too busy playing Wii U.
Thanks for your help King Bowser Koopa!

Thanks for the quick reply, Ok that's strange I just tried connection to my normal telstra cable internet connection (ie no vpn) and tried to use one of the codes tried about 20 times in succession and it gets to the add funds bit then after about 5 seconds it gives me the error.
Just checking you have a US 3ds, what region settings do you have your 3ds set to?
I have mine set to United States without a state specified.
I'm in Sydney, I don't know of any other internet services that are effected.

« on: November 27, 2012, 02:56:13 AM »I can now confirm that it's simply a server issue.Whoah! ok thanks for the info, did you have to connect via a vpn or anything like that? or did you just connect to the internet as per normal and add the eShop card to your funds?
I was able to instantly add $20 from a brand new eShop card bought in USA today. I tried downloading a game and it got halfway until an error occurred. I'd say the US server is still swamped with traffic as people update their wii U consoles, and the fact that we're in Australia doesn't help the lag.

Ok ill give you a play by play, I actually read through that forum too and have been trying to get the credit added again and again at different times with no success. Now to the process.
1. Go to eshop select add funds in my account
2. Select eshop prepaid card
3. punch in the card number
4. press next the 3ds does some loading then it brings up the 'Do you want to add $20 to your account?'
5. I press add
6. The 3ds then goes off does some more loading and brings up the error code 005-5838, I can press ok at this stage and it sends me back to step 3 with the code prepopulated.
I have tried the same process but via a US vpn but that hasn't worked either, and then speaking to Nintendo support seemed to confirm it. I might actually try the vpn thing again a couple of times and see how i go.

I think I can see this happening with my family too, especially with family members who have never used the controller's d-pad. Their is definitely a steeper barrier to entry then Wii.

Thanks for the advice Pandareus, I actually have an update on this. I raised the issue with walmart and they said there was nothing wrong at their end, the cards have been activated and directed me to speak to Nintendo support, which I did and they told me I am getting the error message due to the location I am trying to activate them in.
So now the issue is that the cards simply wont work in Australia due to IP address restriction, I have since tried hooking my 3DS up to a VPN to mask my IP as a US connection and still no success. There must be some other way Nintendo verify's that a user is in the country where the eShop cards were originally purchased. I am kinda out of ideas at this point.

Nintendo Gaming / US eShop Card in Australia on US 3ds
« on: November 12, 2012, 05:50:23 AM »
Hi Everyone,
I was an early adopter of the 3ds I live in Australia but couldn't wait till it came out here so I decided to import from the US and all games I would import too.
This was working great and up until about 3-4 months ago I could even buy games on the eshop with my Australian Credit Card, then it all stopped, I think they introduced some sort of region locking where they did checks on the origin of the Credit Card.
So what was I to do? well I figured the eshop cards were region locked to the system so I needed to get some US 3ds eshop cards, I did from walmart and shipped them to Australia. I figured I wasn't going to order very often so I got $80 worth. They arrived I tried to enter in the first card and I was confronted with error code 005-5838. I tried again then I eventually gave up and tried one of the other cards and the same issue.
Either walmart hasn't activated the cards (in which case im screwed) or there is some sort of IP check that happens when it communicates to add the points to your system.
Has anyone had any similar experience? Any thoughts on what I should do next?
Thanks

Wouldn't mind having this on console in HD (hopefully). I am guessing its going to be a port of the PC version with the blurring effect instead of the 3d. Should be interesting.
