Wii U

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.

Well well well, just 24 hours until the midnight of November 18th here in Minnesota. Needless to say, I am pretty darn excited! That being said, me and the podcast crew have an awful lot of stuff to get done both before, on, and after that day, so I figured I’d fill you in on our current plans for tomorrow, Sunday, and beyond:

November 17th

Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two Review

This review will cover the Wii version of the game, reviewed by Austin.

Epic Mickey: Power of Illusion Review

3DS game, reviewed by Laura.

The Wii U Metacritic Score Predictions Game!

Austin will try and guess the arbitrary review score numbers of every Wii U launch title, courtesy of the only-slightly-evil website Metacritic. We’ll check his accuracy next week…

November 18th (Launch Day!)

Here’s a Podcast – Episode 16!

Primarily focused on our impressions of everything Wii U-related, the sixteenth episode of “Here’s a Podcast!” should be recorded and posted by 10PM Sunday night.

8PM EST (6PM PST): Wii U Livestream

Similar to what we did for the Extra Life 24-Hour Gaming marathon, Austin, Jack, Laura, and potentially one or two others will spend a few hours playing various Wii U games, taking questions, talking to you guys, and playing games requested by people.

The Following Week/Weekend

ZombiU Review (Austin)
New Super Mario Bros. U Review (Jack)

Nintendo delivered an unexpected surprise today. Earlier today, the company announced that the Wii U’s Nintendo TVii application would not be ready for the console’s launch. The new plan is to have it ready to go in December.

Nintendo TVii was widely expected to be available on day-one. So why the delay? According to Nintendo, the move was made to provide “a great experience for consumers”.

Nintendo assures consumers that the app will be released as soon as possible next month.
