Forums - Nintendo - Australian gamer - where can i buy a new wii u gamepad?

so recently my wii u gamepad's left analog is not working well, tried cleaning them but the problem is still there. i bought my wii u in ebgames 2 years ago, so there is no more warranty.

i searched gumtree and ebay  but couldnt find the gamepad, so decided to call ebgames, target and gametraders but they said they didnt sell the gamepad individually as Nintendo didnt provide the stock.

as i am an international student, i dont really know where can i try to find it anymore... my local friends didnt know about this either as they dont have anyway prob with their original gamepad

so anyone here is able to provide me some australian website/store that is selling the gamepad ? thanks in advance ! (i am at Adelaide btw)

Pretty sure you have to contact Nintendo of Australia themselves and send in your Gamepad, either for repairs or a replacement.



Yeah, gotta ship it to Nintendo for repairs unless you want to spend too much for a lone pad on ebay.



Feel free to check out my stream on twitch 

Yeah, i did hear people getting a new gamepad after contacting Nintendo.



Pocky Lover Boy! 

My brother got a new one after contacting Nintendo Australia. Strangely it feels better-made than his launch day one.
