hi i sent nintendo an email about wii u & data transfer & thought maybe you guys would be interested in feedback. B-)

original message
hi i had a general question about the wii u & wii data.
ok with DS, DSi, & 3DS when upgrading we can transfer our online info/friend codes.

but what about when upgrading from wii to wii u? will we be able to transfer our saves, DLC, & friendcodes/online data? or will we have to start from scratch?

(i was talking about friendcodes "transferring wifi id's" btw since DS had wifi data transfer from the beginning & have yet to see this in wii)

there reply
Thank you for contacting us. I can certainly understand your concerns. We have announced that you will be able transfer your data from Wii to Wii U. However, we don't yet have exact info about every type of data will be able to be transferred at this time. I've included the information we do have below:
  • Wii U owners can wirelessly transfer content such as Miis, and WiiWare and Virtual Console games to their Wii U systems.
  • Both systems will need to be connected to the Internet and the Wii U will need an SD card to facilitate the transfer.
  • The Wii and Wii U will need to be on hand to perform a transfer.
  • The process is very similar to transferring content from Nintendo DSi to Nintendo 3DS or from Nintendo 3DS to Nintendo 3DS XL; which has been received positively by consumers.
  • Transferred Wii content is accessible and can be played through Wii Mode, an application on the Wii U's main menu.




hmm 1st time hearing about a wii mode. :ninja:
seems wii u will use similar system 3DS & DSi uses haveing a DS, DSi, & 3DS mode.

Can't possibly be true? I've been waiting for an account system. >.>

Also, wiibrew confirmed. :P

It's a pretty long story, but here's the gist: Homebrew can't be transferred like any other apps (same goes for pirated apps). The Software goes through some checks, then is deleted form the host system. After being deleted, a special download ticket is sent to the client system, so that the software can be downloaded onto that system.
