So right now I'm living one of the most frustrating moments in my gaming context, my Wii U Gamepad AC Adapter won't work anymore, and I need a replacement. It's not the first time, though, but in those occassions I was able to repair it. Now however, I know it's impossible,.

Now, I know Nintendo sells these things through its online store, but that's the problem, I can't buy online since I live in Mexico, in the frontier with the United States, actually, but I don't know anyone enough there so that person could order the adapter for me. It's very annoying. If you live in Latin America and own a Wii U, you must treat every component of the console like gold, or otherwise you are screwed. Yet I'm here, being a huge Nintendo fan. 

So I just wanted to know if someone knows if any of these third party non-licensed products work propertly with the Gamepad, without propitiating future issues about voltage and stuff to the controller.

Or overall, if you know how to get a replacement for someone who can go to San Diego, California. 



My bet with The_Liquid_Laser: I think the Switch won't surpass the PS2 as the best selling system of all time. If it does, I'll play a game of a list that The_Liquid_Laser will provide, I will have to play it for 50 hours or complete it, whatever comes first.
