At least that is what this guy is demonstrating as he plays his Wii u on a Japanese bullet train.You can view more pics from the source.

From the train...Where's he getting the power from?
Bottom of the picture, shows the plug going into the socket with a green light.Where's he getting the power from?
It's no longer HD when he's using the Gamepad anyway. But pretty cool, I've been thinking of doing things like this.HD gaming on a train could also be accomplished more efficiently with a Vita or ... (grittting teeth) tablet.
It's still a cool thing that the WiiU supports semi-portability though.
Shinkansen aren't American....It's an American unit, the Wii U isn't out in Japan yet. I wonder why he has two cables connected and not only one, the power cable is enough isn't it?
75W which is what the Wii U drains should be just about what you're allowed to use on the shinkansen.
Not necessarily.He's in Japan riding the Shinkansen, and he's using an American Wii U unit is what I'm saying.
It's hard to tell if it is in Japan, the writing on the seat looks like English.He's in Japan riding the Shinkansen, and he's using an American Wii U unit is what I'm saying.
According to the source, this guy is on the Nozomi Shinkansen.It's hard to tell if it is in Japan, the writing on the seat looks like English.
Edit: Although I've never been took much notice of bullet trains, not sure if they all have AC sockets or if that's Shinkansen only.
If you look at the original Japanese source there are more pictures and when it comes to a lot of train stations in Japan my experience is that they have things written in both English and Japanese for the most important information. Do notice that I said most important information, there's a lot of things that aren't translated.It's hard to tell if it is in Japan, the writing on the seat looks like English.

Nippon Yasan already had them for about 2 weeks.
They are based on Shikoku.
I'm sure there are some shops similar to this as well.
I've ordered from NY before. If they say its available, it is on sale.Those are pre-orders aren't they?
It's still a US Wii U, look at the screens.
But the description says preorder, released dec 8th.I've ordered from NY before. If they say its available, it is on sale.
Their products are 100% Japanese region, as stated in their FAQ.
There's only one cable, it's going back, then make a loop and go in front of the console.I wonder why he has two cables connected and not only one, the power cable is enough isn't it?
