Nintendo looking into Wii U to Wii U transfers

Posted on November 17, 2012 by (@NE_Brian) in News, 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.
