Well, i tried that with my Wii U and i wasnt able to... After switching my console to the US zone the e-shop didn't allowed me to login anymore. Apparently Nintendo checks the IP address of your Internet connection to see where are you login from and won't allow you to use Internet features if the IP address doesn't matches with your Wii U settings.

I haven't tried with my 3DS (for the 3DS i prefer to buy cartridges so I can share them with my cousin).. I guess it could be possible and worth a shot. I'll try it one of these days ;)

Oh well, looks like they've rectified that with the Nintendo Network, I will try it at my friend's with the Wii U.
Is it possible to link a paypal account? Or only credit cards??

You should try it with the 3DS, seeing that it´s a more portable device and thought for trips and visits to other places, it might allow you

I'm pretty sure Nintendo doesn't check IPs but just compares your NNID and console settings. Had the problem myself when changing countries inside of Europe for some strange reason, when I couldn't access the eShop with my Dutch NNID if I set my console to Spanish/Spain (maybe the same thing happens if you change state in the US???). NNIDs are linked to your console SN and country you register, the country can't be changed afterwards... or at least that is what the customer service told me.

Solution: set your console to the country you desire and make a new NNID registered in that country.

Not sure if that is entirely true. In the NA WiiU you can change the zipcode in eShop whenever you want. I'd bet you have a similar option as well.
