Right now, content can only be transferred from a Wii to Wii U. Moving data from one Wii U to another is currently impossible.

Fortunately, Nintendo is looking into such functionality. The feature would presumably work similar to 3DS transfers if/when it were to be made available.

According to a Q&A excerpt from Nintendo’s support site:

I know games can be transferred from a Wii to a Wii U, but how about from a Wii U to a Wii U?
Transferring data from one Wii U to another Wii U is not supported at this time. However, we are looking into this feature and will provide an update if there is anything to report.

If I bought a Basic console and purchase games from the Nintendo eShop, and then buy a Deluxe console and want to transfer those games, is that possible?
Transferring data from one Wii U to another Wii U is not supported at this time. However, we understand that this is a feature of interest to some consumers so we are taking that into consideration and are looking into this feature.

The US Club Nintendo site will only give users 160 coins if they register their Wii U systems. That’s the same amount as the 3DS and 3DS XL, even though the console’s real price value is quite a bit higher.

Those who were hoping that the registration would also provide a warranty extension will be disappointed. The Club Nintendo site confirms that no such offer is in place.

There are a lot of Wii U launch games coming out on Sunday, but none of them are quite as hotly anticipated as Ubisoft Montpellier’s ZombiU. This isn’t necessarily because we all think it looks incredible (which, admittedly many of us do), but there’s a certain excitement surrounding it that isn’t present when talking about New Super Mario Bros. U or Scribblenauts Unlimited. It’s a new IP, for one, but it’s also a return to the survival horror styles of yesteryear, and it uses the Gamepad more interestingly than any other launch title, bar none.

Even if you forget about all of that, though, the concept alone might be enough to call ZombiU the zombie game we’ve been dreaming about for years.
