Imprtant Question about Wii U accessories....

[Rasha]

This is really important for me....
When I first bought my Wii U I bought a pro controller, a wii mote and a nunchuc from a game store along with it...
When I got home and tried them I noticed how terrible and cheap it feels holding them like I'm holding a plastic toy, and they are stiff as heck they make the games unplayable BECAUSE THEY WERE FAKE and the sad part is that the packages were so convincing because they looked identical to the original with the logo and everything...
Later I tried to buy a pro controller and a nunchuc from amazon but I heard that the products might be fake as well! Im afraid because I REALLY need the real thing but I can't risk so much because I live in Kuwait and the shipment is costly and takes about a month to get the package...
Can someone suggest a good source for buying REAL Wii U accessories that I can trust with my Visa card and is able to deliver to Kuwait?
I'm desperate

I'd go on official gaming store websites. I live in the UK so mine would be GAME.co.uk, see if they ship internationally. Also try Gamestop if they even have a website? That's US I think.

I can help you with that.

Always make sure to buy Wii U stuff that's official, never go with anything that isn't made by Nintendo officially.

Third-Party stuff tends to suck a lot. (Except the Wii U chargers I have, they work perfectly)

I want to shop online, do you know any trusty website that would ship to where I live?

There is the Nintendo store, but unfortunately it's for US & Canada buyers only.

Try Gamestop or Best Buy, they are usually the best options to go whenever you shop for gaming stuff online.

I might give one of those a try...
is amazon a good source for buying video game stuff? I've always wondered...

Sometimes you'll get good stuff and sometimes bad.

Like this one time, my brother ordered a Wii Speak and it turns out to be in the PAL region.

What region do you live in? I could try to help you find a website. :>

Amazon should be fine for buying these controllers as long as you can see that they're official Nintendo products. You just need to make sure they're not selling you third party equipment or something else strange. If they said it was Nintendo made and it isn't then you need to get your money back...

Gulf Region (Kuwait)
not many websites would deliver there, I know XP
I'm stuck~

I hope you meant pinpointed because they said Kuwait twice...

I almost never buy anything without reading customer comments/ratings and the ones I saw on amazon about the pro controller and the nunchuc are kinda questionable...
should I really trust amazon after all?

 

[n64king]

I must say though I can't imagine GameStop or Best Buy are going to ship out of the US or Canada... or really most any of these stores. They usually say when ordering online that they don't ship out of our territories.

 

[BlooBelle]

Sorry, I skimmed through the post. xc
Anyways, Amazon should work fine if you make sure to buy from a trustworthy account. Read the reviews (just make sure they aren't from spambots) on the controller and the other products they sell. :3

Does this one ship to Kuwait? It seems reliable.

here's the biggest problem, the packages of the fake accessories I got are IDENTICAL to the real thing, with the pro controller I only knew because the tiny screw in the back is silver and the real thing should have a black one :/

Errrgh really I feel like maybe you just got a bum deal that one time. Amazon hasn't failed me but once. :/ You should be able to trust it. Especially if you're buying NEW.

 

[BlooBelle]

WAIT nvm wrong link. ;3;
Lemme find another

And amazon should be reliable. I've gotten refunds on shoddy products before, if you contact amazon and say that you got a bootleg controller you could get help.

You should still be able to send it back and tell them something seems wrong. They knows fake stuff floats around sometimes, I'm sure they can help you. People have bought PS4s or iPads that came with a box full of rocks and they've refunded them and got them their real item back. I'm sure they can help this time... unless is shady store

oh no haha
the fakes I bought were from a store NOT AMAZON, it was from a game store. I only said that I dunno if I should trust amazon is because of the questionable customer reviews. I bought video games from amazon before but that's about it

 

[n64king]

jk lol

btw, this is what the FAKE package looked like:

yup, identical to the real thing with the logo and everything it's creepy
