LostWinds now transferable from Wii to Wii U
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Wii, Wii U | 2 Comments
Update: Now confirmed – see the (Spanish) image above (thanks Iván!).
Original: For those unaware, it’s possible to move content stored on your Wii – like WiiWare and Virtual Consoles titles – over to a Wii U console. There were a few exceptions though. LostWinds, for example, couldn’t be transferred for whatever reason.
That has apparently since changed. Based on information provided by reader linkvron, LostWinds can now be brought over to Wii U. Can anyone else verify this information?
