I bought one on eBay which said it was working, but I can't connect my gamepad to it (it was sold without a gamepad because I already had one)

can't pair the controller though for some reason, so I'm assuming the wireless is fucked or something. I've tried everything I can think of

kthx

turns out it's an Australian Wii U lol

imagine selling a god damn Australian Wii U on AN AMERICAN VERSION OF EBAY

they sneaked the little region code numbers in there

really fucking misleading though. it needs to be clearly fucking stated that it's Australian and won't work with NA discs or gamepads, what the fuck dude

going to piss and shit on it and fucking return it to sender

I WASTED SO MUCH FUCKING TIME TRYING TO GET THIS SHIT TO WORK

I just got a tiny booger on my space bar, and now it won't wipe off the stain from it

this day sucks

ok he said he didn't know it was Australian and would give me a refund

but I don't want to make him waste his time. I assume if you're doing eBay as a side hustle, you aren't doing that well anyway

might just set it on fire or something

What's the difference between a freezer and BubbleBobble's girlfriend?


A freezer doesn't fart when you pull the meat out.

^^^lolll snap

thanks for thinking any girl ever would get with me at this point tho


^^I've already floated the idea within the Aboriginal Reddit community


^I'm considering it, but I'm not sure if I have the proper tools to do it

plus the gamepad is a mismatch, and the gamepad is required for most stuff you do on it

I think there's a workaround to that too, but it's probably easier for me to just get another one
