Greetings

My friend had planned to buy me ZombiU for Christmas, but he lives in the US, while I live in Norway.
Since the game is region locked, it won't work here. So, my question is, what options are there for gifting games on the Wii U?
Will a eShop card from the US work in Europe? Or are there any other ways?

Thank you helping

Sadly, I'm pretty sure eShop cards/codes are region locked. As of now there's no gifting feature on the eShop like the Wii Shop Channel had, but even then the original Wii's gifting feature was region locked. So I'm sad to say there's really no way to gift games for the Wii U at the moment, only option is to import games.

Yeah the big N becomes notorious for its dumb decisions.

Молоту войн и рокоту гроз вольные рати верны, где ветром могучим из братины звёзд рунные стяги пьяны.

He can order your game from zavvi.com or similar websites.
eShop cash cards are region locked, there's no gifting, and the discs are region locked.
