Hello.

First off, I'm looking for an SD Card in my local electronic store where I also buy my games, so I'm almost sure there are no fakes lying around.
Secondly, my old 8GB SD Card that I use for Wii U right now, is going to be used for the 3DS.

The SD Cards in the $20 and less price range are available:

SANDISK Micro-SDXC Ultra Android 64GB 80MB/s Class 10 : $19
SANDISK SDHC Ultra 32 GB 80 MB/s Class 10 : $15.49
KINGSTON MicroSDHC 64GB Class 10 UHS-I + Adapter : $19.45

Those 3 cards I'm seeing in my price range and I have questions.
Which one is the best of those 3 to buy?
Does the Wii U accept UHS cards? Pretty sure the 3DS doesn't.
I prefer getting one of the 64GB ones though. For just $4 more, I have a 64GB card. Are they good?

I'd like to change my emuNAND region from E to U on the 8GB SD card. my 3DS sysNAND is 9.2.
There is a tutorial, but is it way too outdated for use, or can I just use it?

Thanks!

As for your first question.

The card is class 10 uhs-1. The wiiu doesn't support uhs in the sense that you don't get the better uhs speeds. It will work just fine at class 10 speeds.

I bought a 64GB class 10 sandisk from Amazon for my wiiu, and it's worked out great (also $19.95).

Thanks. Got the SANDISK one which has UHS, according to you it will work fine.
I don't have access to my Wii U atm.

I forgot to ask. The best way to format it?
Cluster size and everything.

Format to FAT32. Dimok's fw.img will reformat the card for you when you dump your nand so don't worry about cluster size right now (just use the default).

I'm not going to use redNAND. I'll use it for Loadiine games except for games that run really slow like TP. I'll install those games to Wii U with exploit do Brasileiro.
