Wii U games are already out in the wild. Amazon has started to ship pre-ordered copies, so you could see something like Black Ops II showing up on your doorsteps soon.

The thing is, you’ll need to wait another week to play it!

The Wii lets you save downloaded content from the Shop Channel to an SD card. All 3DS-specific content from the eShop must be downloaded from an SD card as well. Wii U is mixing up the pattern slightly.

As it turns out, you won’t be able to save any Wii U eShop titles to an SD card. Your only options are saving to the console’s internal memory or the device plugged into the USB slot.

Now, it may be possible to indirectly save to an SD card through a USB card reader, but this isn’t clear yet.

Also worth mentioning: according to Nintendo’s Japanese Wii U site, downloaded software saved to the USB slot can’t be played on a different Wii U. The site says “software can only be used on 1 Wii U per 1 USB media.”

We’re hoping that with the new Wii U accounts, you’ll somehow be able to download eShop content onto a separate console. But since there’s so much uncertainty and vagueness surrounding accounts, we probably won’t know if something like this is in place until next week.

Xbox Live Arcade is regarded by some as a top digital distribution platform. On the other end of the spectrum, Nintendo has been criticized in the past for its online efforts and online shops.

Keeping these opinions in mind, the following tidbit may be of interest to gamers who are circumspect about the Wii U eShop.

Destructoid editor Jonathan Holmes, who had a chat with Nintendo recently, was informed that staffers who worked on original Xbox Live Arcade initiatives are now contributing to development of the Wii U’s digital store.

“Just had an awesome conversation with Nintendo. Did you know some of the people crafting the Wii U eShop worked on the original XBLA?”
