Man this was surprisingly emotional for me... I nearly teared up as I saw all my games from the past 7 years being loaded up onto a rocket ship by pikmin... That's so damn cute and it reminds me of the great times I've had with Nintendo... Thank you for the last 7 years with my Wii. I won't be selling it, I'll be putting it away in it's original box and keeping it forever. Thank you Nintendo.
poor Wii gonna be locked up forever. just give it to a younger you to play with and experience just like Andy gave that little girl buzz and woody and the gang, now that was an emotional roller coaster.
I'm not alone. With Miiverse ending, I decided to do the transfer at last. It was quite sad to see the data Pikmin leaving the Wii to board the shuttle to take them to the Wii U. It was the music that did it for me. If I do take out the Wii again, it'll be to play GameCube games.
Thanks for making it so easy to follow to transfer from Wii to Wii U. Our Wii disc feed broke after warranty was up. (We could pay $75 to fix it.) But, we didn't want to chance losing any data. And my kids decided to chip in extra and get the Wii U Bundle since it came with two games they wanted. Now they can play all the Wii games with their old game data. So glad this was an option!
Just saying, an actually decent account system similar to Sony and Microsofts would fix a LOT of the frustration here. I liked the Pikmin movie thing though.
I like what they did with the progress bar at 1:54. I watched the whole thing during my transfer. My Wii games look so much better now I can zoom out than the 480p component I used.
Uh... like Ben Johnson said, the Wii Shop Channel is still up and running in 2017! This is on both the original Wii, and on the Wii Mode on the Wii U! You can still purchase Wii Points digitally and purchase games from the Wii Shop Channel and download them on a Wii Console or Wii U console in Wii Mode today! In fact, I just purchased a WiiWare title last week! Most Online Interactions for the Wii have been discontinued, however the Wii Shop Channel is not one of them. On top of that, the Nintendo Pay & Play Service (Which is basically Wii's version of DLC), Video-On Demand Applications (Netflix, Hulu, & Amazon Video), and System Update (even though there hasn't been one in about 3 years) are all still active and will still connect!
Not me, I owned a Wii U and I barely used the Wii software because of it's horrible motion controls. I mean no offence to the people who like motion controls everywhere.
If there's ever a Switch successor with its own transfer tool, I guarantee it won't have half the personality and fun that this had. The ambient music, the sound effects, the Pikmin transferring all your data...
The Wii was my first console, had a white one with GameCube support, but soon it stopped, I was heart broken in 2011, so later that Christmas my grandma gotten me a skylanders edition, years later still works, the old Wii issue was the disk drive, went to a repair place today and it would almost cost 200 dollars, I forgot the Wii transfer thing was a thing, Nintendo you were my childhood
I saw this as a UA-cam recommended video in 2022. 🤗 It definitely took me back in time to when it was so cool to transfer my games over and see that little 🚀 take off.
you know what I saw the cutscenes for both the wii and the wii u for this process and as a pikmin fan it's freaking adorable I love how you chose pikmin
I really regretted transferring over. Just the fact Nintendo has not done a firmware update which could allow you to use gamecube controllers for the wii virtual console games on the WiiU. I always played N64 games with a gamecube controller on the wii, but now, nintendo also doesn't sell classic controller pros anymore. But, perhaps more n64 games will be released on the nintendo eshop I guess to compensate.
I regretted transferring my Wii data too. I was lucky enough to get a classic controller Back in 2011. However, I loved using a GameCube controller because it just felt nicer in my hands. You can buy a classic controller on Amazon still, but I prefer GameCube controllers. :(
Please add cross buy, Nintendo!!! If I bought VC games on your E-shop store, I should be able to play them on all your hardware (Wii, Wii U, 3DS). More convenient to your customers and less headaches.
The reason I haven't performed this yet is the fact I can't select what I want to transfer. I liked this about the Dsi to 3ds transfer, so why can't you do the same for Wii to WiiU?
EpicXKnight Watch the vids its called the switch now and it was codenamed nx because an the n probably stands for next gen and the X represents a cross and that's what the switch is a cross between handheld and portable that's why it was called the nx
Transferring Sonic Colors data to wii U before I get Sonic Lost World. Pretty hype but also a little sad cause now I can just play Wii games on the Wii U. I'll always love my wii though
I remember before the switch released I was begging for a Wii U all the time and when I saw this app on Wii shop channel I thought it let me upgrade it to a Wii U and got disappointed when it didn’t lol I’m laughing at 5 year old me
Ikram232 I have a softmodded Wii and everything went fine. (Of course only legit software you downloaded will be transferred and no homebrew apps will be transferred.)
I'm not sure, but you can copy save data from Wii to an SD card, so, probably, if you copy the data to an SD, use transfer data in another one, and then copy the saves from de first SD it'll work. ETA: yes, it works, and you can use the same SD
If you have the wii u transfer on the original wii then yes if you don't have it you can't download it again because nintendo shutdown the wifi for ds and wii
Fast Gamez IDK, but for whatever reason it still works. Maybe because Club Nintendo is shutting down and some of the rewards are virtual console games for the original Wii U.
Fast Gamez Nintendo only shut down the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection Server for Online Play, Everything else such as using Video Streaming Apps, Wii Shop Channel, and so on so forth still work, meaning that you can still get the System Transfer Channel.
Man! I played DKCR on my Wii U and it deleted all my saved data to replace it with the saved data from my Wii!!! I was so close to finish the game now I have to start over again!!! I hate ir!!! Nintendo why dint you give me the option to select the content I wanted than to replace It? Now I really don't want to play DKCR

habringerofdoom012 just take it out and buy a couple of GameCube games
habringerofdoom012 play pikmin 3 on your Wii U then
I cried seeing all my old games gone for good
Am I the only one who thinks these pikmin themed system transfers are adorable?
You are NOT alone. I just did a New 3DS XL transfer, and it took a few hours, but the pikmin made it worth the wait.
Do both consoles need to be connected over the same router or can I do this over distance?
really fun proccese
Same!

Elite so u don’t have to keeps switchin consoles for wii games
elite if your wii disk drive breaks and you too much of a wimp like me to try to replace it
Yes
I like how they move the cursor so perfectly it seems like they're using a mouse.

They used a Orange wireless router and a Wii Remote (Wiimote)
They probably are
Maybe there using pro controler
@@GDSade bro there is no pro controller other than gamecube controller or wii motionplus
I cried watching this. I cant beleive the Wii U is 8 years old.
Same, though i still use wii u for 3d world though i got it on switch
U still use it because I can't adapt to the switch, it's too hard to maintain, especially for a 14 year old with no money
I still use it because of the ui, music and games
10 years old now...
Wii U days, Miiverse. Take me back. 😢

So it looks like my Wii is going to be demoted to strictly Gamecube duty.
Yeah... The Wii is basically useless after this. Especially if you already own a Game Cube.
i only use my gamecube as a gameboy player.
ain't nothing wrong with gamecube duty XD
Mine to
And if my GameCube didn't break, my Wii would be useless

I just got one and its my favorite console to game on.
I hope the Nintendo Switch and its successor will have that feature data transfer feature.
This is the only thing about the Wii remaining on Nintendo’s channel... ;(
This would be so beneficial if the Wii System Transfer was in the damn EShop! Get that up there, Nintendo!
it's in the Wii Shop Channel not the Nintendo eShop
got this in my recommended 8 years later
Please add cross buy, Nintendo!!! If I bought VC games on your E-shop store, I should be able to play them on all your hardware (Wii, Wii U, 3DS). More convenient to your customers and less headaches.
I think they heeded that, if the latest Mario VS DK game is any indication.
Crimson Flame Apparently not
They made a cute Transfer process screen so you don't get bored waiting
Hoping this still works in 2024 cause my old Wii doesn’t work anymore so it better work I mean it doesn’t read disks or nothing
The pikmin animation is utterly beautiful....
2:09 Nintendo, you playing SEGA games? ("Sonic and the Black Knight" showing)

like the spaceship gets hit by something and it crashes
Just today transferring Wii to Wii U. Why? Because I need to have my downloads in my ID account for the Switch.

What
So you can transfer all your saves as well?
that's what it's all about
But the original wii will forget all the save data you transferred
Got this to my recommendation. Now the WiiU eShop is closing next year.
Why did they make this so difficult?
Its the way the Wii was programmed.
Because Wii is really old
Votix sense 2006
So the Pikmin animation is more satisfying.
I remember before the switch released I was begging for a Wii U all the time and when I saw this app on Wii shop channel I thought it let me upgrade it to a Wii U and got disappointed when it didn’t lol I’m laughing at 5 year old me
yeahh... ummmm... what if my Wii is hacked/softmodded? Talking directly to you, Nintendo!
***** yeah.... I am starting to hate softmodding... so....
Ikram232 I have a softmodded Wii and everything went fine. (Of course only legit software you downloaded will be transferred and no homebrew apps will be transferred.)
This is much easier than from the Wii, I couldn't figure how to move Store content too anouther wii but now Everything seems much more clear,

CrazyGmod21 Today???
This is just so satisfying
So what if you stored Donkey Kong Country on your SD card? You can't re-download it, as it's off the Wii Shop Channel.
I'm super amazed that nobody has cracked this and loaded homebrew into their vWii this way.
I just wish that it doesn't delete all your save files on the oringal Wii
I'm not sure, but you can copy save data from Wii to an SD card, so, probably, if you copy the data to an SD, use transfer data in another one, and then copy the saves from de first SD it'll work.
ETA: yes, it works, and you can use the same SD
@RandomName yeah, it's a pain if you have a lot of saves, a didn't have so much, so it didn't took long
It turns out this works much differently than I expected, and now I have a Star Wars game I can't play because my controller isn't compatible.
This seems ridiculously time-consuming. Can I still download N64 games on the Wii Mode of the Wii U?
yes

Fast Gamez I just downloaded it. Wii Shop (and other things like Netflix) still work on Wii.
Kippy teh Kipst3r how? I thought nintendo shut it down in May 2014

Nintendo why dint you give me the option to select the content I wanted than to replace It? Now I really don't want to play DKCR
I'm pretty sure they warned you that transferring your data will replace your Wii U's Wii data. If that is true, then it's your fault you didn't read.
This helps so much thanks. Just brought a Gamepad because I lost mines 4 years ago. 😃 at least I don’t have to get another console
Wait why does it delete all of your data from your wii?
Cuz it moves it to ur sd card
