OK, sick of waiting; how do I download European eshop games from Australia?

See my post up above.  I've been doing this to buy games from the UK eshop since Trine 2 came out. 

I've encountere no adverse effects whatsoever.  Basically there is no hardware or software differences between the European and Australian WiiU.  It simply uses two bits of information to determine which version of the E-shop to connect you to. The nationality of your NNID and the console 'Country of Residence' that you nominate on setup, neither of these things are fixed.

I'm assuming the only thing stopping us from connecting to the US or Japanese e-shops is those countries aren't selectable (probably just a software mask) in the 'Country of Residence' on our consoles.

Cool, thanks.

One last question, where are you getting your eshop points from? I assume it wont accept local credit cards like my USA PSN account.

My Australian debit card worked just fine.
