Topic: White Wii to Black Wii Transfer..... Place Your Bets!!

[BlackNMild2k1]

I meant to make this thread a few days ago, but better late than never right .

I own 2 White Wii's and just got a Black Wii.

Everyone says Nintendo will not transfer your goodies from one Wii to another.
Nintendo even said that it's part of the User Agreement that WiiShop content is to be used on only the Wii you purchased it on.

But can I get all the content from the White Wiis over to the Black Wii by sending it in to Nintendo?

Place your bets by Voting above.

Did I understand correctly in the other thread that you want only some content from your white Wii systems moved to your black Wii system?  If so, my vote's for not happenin', chump.

Well content transfer is a content transfer.
whether they do some or all is irrelevant, it's between transfer or no transfer and between which of the 3 machines.

Only 4 people voted, but I've sent of my Wii's. Well 2 of them anyway. One White and One Black. They said they can maybe do a transfusion, but I won't know for sure until I get it back.

Mission accomplished.... sorta (option 2)

WiiShop account transfered from (1)White Wii to Black Wii.

All I have to do now is copy over all the games I had already purchased and they are ready to play. Best part is that they are still on the old Wii too.

So 1 month later and several lengthy phone calls to Nintendo later I have yet another Wii to casually ignore but collect games for.

Can someone else change the account on the old Wii, yet still retain the games?

not that I know of, unless there is some homebrew way of doing it.

I can think of one way, though you would've had to start the process before you transferred your account. If you copied your system's internal memory to your computer, you could have restored that data, which would include your Shop Channel account in whatever state it was at the time you copied the data.
