Topic: New Wii U Transfer Help...

Hello guys. Thank you for even viewing this thread.

Anyway, I'm curious about something. Since the Wii U came out, me and my 3 siblings have had one in our living room with 4 separate accounts/Nintendo IDs. Anyway, I'm going off to college next fall so I bought myself another Wii U to take with me. All 4 of us have Nintendo IDs linked and have all purchased different games for ourselves. I was wondering if there was a way for me to just transfer my ID and content without formatting/getting rid of all of my siblings content. From what I've read online, it looks like I can transfer everything off the old Wii U onto the new one, and I don't want that. I also don't want to make a new Nintendo ID and loose all the content I have purchased over the last few years (Over $200 worth of content). Do you guys know if I can just transfer the ID or do you have any ideas for me?

Thank you so much for your help,

You can do it because I had the exact same issue. Just contact Nintendo and tell them you want to transfer a single NNID from one Wii U to another. You'll need to provide the serial numbers of both Wii Us.

Thank you so much for your quick reply! So it let you transfer all the content to your new Wii U? Thank you so much

Well, that brings up a problem with this. It transfers the license over, so you will have to redownload all your games, and I don't know how to get your save data over. When I transferred, I just had a handful of VC games so it was no big deal to me. Maybe Nintendo has a workaround for this as well.

Hey, I thought I'd have to rebuy everything so getting the licenses to transfer would be more than enough for me! Thank you so much! You are a life-saver!
