Transfer Wii digital downloads to Wii U, cradle comes with console
Scott Moffitt, Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Nintendo, has confirmed that digital downloads purchased on the Wii can be transferred over to Wii. This presumably means that all Virtual Console and WiiWare games can be placed on the new console.
Specifics on the transfer process have not been announced.
Moffitt briefly touched on the Wii U’s account system as well, noting, “You will have an individual account based system. Each member of your family might have their own account.”
In its report, ABC News said that there’s no brightness controls for the Wii U GamePad. That sounds a little fishy to me based on what we heard about the controller’s battery life, but we shall see. One thing that we can say for sure is that all Wii U consoles will be sold with a charging cradle.
