Transferring System Data
Transferring System Data
You can transfer software, saved game data, and other data from your Wii console to your Wii U console.
In addition to the Wii U system, you will need the following items before transferring:
•An operational Wii system and two Wii Remote
•An SD or SDHC Memory Card (with at least 512 MB of free space)
•A broadband Internet connection (both systems must be connected to the Internet)
•See the Wii Operations Manual - Channels & Settings for details on Internet connections for the Wii console.
IMPORTANT: Transferred data is permanently deleted from the Wii console. Once you have transferred data to the Wii U console, it cannot be transferred back to a Wii console. Data cannot be transferred from your Wii U console to a Wii console.
Data You Can Transfer
You can transfer the following data only. All data that can be transferred will be transferred at one time, so you are unable to select which data to transfer.
Visit support.nintendo.com/wiiu/transferdata for more information.
Transfer Procedure
IMPORTANT: To avoid loss of data or damage to your system or components, do not remove the SD Card, turn off the console, or unplug the AC adapter during the transfer process.
Both systems must be connected to a TV. If both systems are connected to the same TV, you will need to switch between the two systems as you go through the transfer steps. There are two ways this can be done:
•Use the input select of the TV to switch between the two systems; or
•Plug the standard AV cable that came with your Wii console into your TV and swap the cable between the two systems during the transfer process. (Swap the cables at the same time you are swapping the SD Card.)
See the illustration below for the transfer procedure and follow the
