Umm so how exactly does that work? There is no known way to give games as gifts on eshop purchases.

Was unaware there was no gift feature in the eShop. I don't much care how it gets done, I just wanna get this dude the DS VC game for a proper CBHC setup.Yes, but that isn't what you said.
Yes well it is possible to get one of the $10 eshop cards, and then share the code with him, he can do it then. To be honest, I wish that there was a gift option on games too, only steam has it but that sometimes get shady business, probably why console games don't have it

Yeah, Steam is exactly where I got the idea that a gift feature existed. Not even Android let's you buy apps as a gift. That's pretty stupid, actually.Yes well it is possible to get one of the $10 eshop cards, and then share the code with him, he can do it then.

Hmm, well I dunno, can't confirm that, i don't own any xbox consoles, Just playstation and nintendo. Actually the wii before wii u had a option to gift games from the wiishop to specified friends with friendcodes, but that was like a decade ago, now is just not on playstation or xbox, instead we got stuff like sharing accounts with parent-child accounts on psn and those steam family stuff..

No, I just had this happen for me and it was very cool. I like the idea of "pay it forward" and I have the extra this month to be able to afford it for you. All I ask is that you pay it forward whenever you have the ability.
I just gave you the redemption code, so please let me know if you run into any issues. Please don't mess up and brick your Wii U!
Edit: OP has redeemed my eCash purchase and has his DS VC game! Happy hacking, bro!

OP stated he plans on setting up Haxchi, he just needed the DS VC game for DLC and updates for games. I'm kind of glad. I setup with CBHC and I'm glad I did, but I understand the risks involved with it. Also, I'm the only user so I'm not too worried about someone accidentally deleting it.
I tried this but whenever youre setting up an nnid, the wii u does not give you an option to set your region. Its like it knows youre in the US. I tried running spiik, which tells the console youre in eur region, but when you enter eshop it just freezes.
I cant remember if i tried spiik first, and than tried to set up the nnid though.

You're going to have to be more specific about your problem if you want help.

It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem. -

the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze -

but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in

There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.

@
Veho:
But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".

Veho:
Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.

Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need -
