There's probably nothing I can do but my gamepad died on me recently and I ordered one through Amazon, lots of good reviews photos of others who purchased and it arrived immediately.
The only problem is that it seems that the refurbished gamepad is from another country, and the system wants to update..
The seller game me a bunch of BS about how I was warned about it being refurbished, I can understand... but honestly why would they send me an incompatible one, nothing on the sellers disclaimer mentions that you might get an out of region gamepad.
At this point I'm assuming that I dont really have any options, I've read forums extensively apparently the hardware is just too different excetra.
I doubt that hacking my wii u for region free would work and I assume most tampering with pad would brick it.
Would Nintendo support help me out on this? Or should I post it on Amazon or Ebay for resale for someone who might want an out of region pad?
