I'm tired of stuff taking months to come out here for an inflated price.

Isn't there some way to trick your Wii U into thinking you're in Europe? I tried changing the country on my user profile, but it wouldn't let me...

If there is a way to change your location,sure!E.g you can change your location in your pc to see foreign tv programs that aren't available in your country..:P

Not sure if the Australian OS is different, but you can change your country in the settings... BUT your NNID needs to be match this setting (and here comes another one) BUT you can't change it in your current NNID's country (option is locked, you can only change regions from your selected country). So you can only make a new NNID in Europe. Best deal for you would be to make a UK account, I think they also get the best exchange rates.

Enjoy that region locking!

Already circumvented, enjoying my European purchases as we speak. ;)

Seems someone doesn't know that Australia belongs to Europe. (At least in the Nintendo Universe.) ;)

I can use my European wii u's European eshop outside Europe. Simply going through a vpn won't change what regions eshop your wii u is set to.

and doesnt care! :D   

well....maybe alittle.....

1. Create a secondary NNID that lives in the UK.

2. Change your console 'country of residence' to UK in console settings.

3. Switch user to your newly created UK NNID (if you're not already logged in as them) - note: your icons may have changed position don't worry about it.

4. Launch e shop!

5. Buy (remember prices are in pounds).

6. Close e-shop BUT wait for the download to finish. (Not sure if it matters but it seems best to leave it alone)

7. Revert your console back to Australia as country of residence.

8. Switch back to your usual NNID account. Your new game will be there and all icons will be back where they were when you started.

What were you buying??
