Topic: Re Buying a Wii U

Im going to be buying a Wii U soon, probably by the summer. Just wanted to know, the eShop games and everything i bought before, will i be able to re download that stuff again when i get my new Wii U?

Thanks

Jon

Im not transferring from Wii to Wii U.

Im on about redownloading games i previously bought when i had my first Wii U? Can that be done?

You will need to contact Nintendo about that

Ah fair enough! Thanks

You cannot redownload games on a different system.

Don't buy one

Unfortunately Superjoon, Nintendo hasn't set up the WiiU yet to be purely account-based, but they are working on it. Purchases are still tied to the console right now.

Yeah I am afraid that you will need to purchase all your games again since its a different system. YOu can try contacting Nintendo and tell them your problems they might be able to help that thats the only thing really you can do.

There was a particular Wii U user who experienced this kind of situation before. An article was written about it where that particular Wii U user ended up calling Nintendo & was given download points to redownload the games he owned plus extra download points for inconvenience.

Thanks for the advice! Will get in touch with Nintendo and see if theres anything they can do!

Yea, definitely get in touch with Nintendo. It's amazing what you can accomplish with a little bargaining over the phone.

My new WiiU is on its way. Should be here by Thursday. Excited.

may i ask why you got rid off the first one?

Financial issues and at the time I would have been able to make my money back on it, so seemed the obvious choice. But now all is good and I miss my Wii U

I love wii u my friends tease me at school because I'm turning 16 and they say Nintendo is for kids when there really not they put some much effort into all there games and they make the best quality exclusives and games money can buy I would suggest getting add me on it if you want always up for more friends ) - Forbsz (Nintendo ID)

Thanks! WiiU arrived this morning while i was at work, just got back now and downloading the spring update.

Had to change my Nintendo id as i couldn't use my old one

If anyone wants to add me my new user id is KingJoonToon

The Nintendo ID is a joke. You don´t have any downloads in your account, only in your memory system (it is the same as the Wii).

Nintendo is working on fixing that

Why the heck did you already get rid of the first one when you hadn't even had it for a year???
