Hi everyone!

New member here.. looking forward to getting my Wii U soon from the states to bring back home to asia we we're being deprived of a launch date as of now ):

Hi guys,

Would like a little advice on region locks on the US Wii U set.

Background - i'll be travelling to the states next week for a week and intend to try and hunt for a deluxe set as there has been no announcement for a release date in my home country in south east asia.

Question 1 - I understand that the Wii Us are region locked, but the US and South East Asia are under the same region (NTSC-U).
Does this mean that I can buy games locally and play on my Wii U set?

Question 2 - The digital downloads for the Wii U are region locked as well, meaning North American Sets can only play downloaded North American games.
So does this mean if i bring my Wii U set back home to Asia, i'll be unable to download and play Wii U games?

Question 3 - Does anyone have any idea what the power requirements are for the Wii U? xx-xx volts and xx hertz? The US and Asia have two different power requirements but if the Wii is like a laptop (with a power brick) this should not be a problem.

Thanks for helping.

Cheers!
