| mZuzek said: Um, yes I know that title is a bit confusing. It's about people who own the American Wii U but live somewhere else. About the question... let's go straight to the point. I live in Brazil and own an American Wii U. It's voltage is supposedly strictly 110v, which isn't a problem because that's the standard in the city I live. However, I'm going to travel when Breath of the Wild releases to play the game with a friend, but where he lives the standard is 220v and we'd have to buy some adapter thing, which neither of us wants to do. However, I've read that apparently the Wii U is actually bivolt despite claiming to be only 110v. After looking into it a bit more, I only seem to find more people saying it works on 220v, and no one as of yet saying it doesn't. Because of that, I should be sure about it being true, but obviously when it comes to something like this, I'm naturally going to be scared of actually doing it. So I'm asking here, because it's where there's people I "know". Has anyone done this? Does it really work? Do I have no reason to be worried? |
better to be safe than sorry. I've lived in PH, and brought my Wii U (US). I was there for a year or so, then brought back my WiiU here to the US. I've bought a few transformers/converters since some of the electronics I have are 110V (bought from US) and the voltage there is 220V~240V.
but yeah, I've plugged the Wii U directly to a 220V there. It didn't cause any issues. My Samsung Bluray though got wacked, since I've forgot to plugged to the transformer.
