True, it's not perfected. But it's a good start. Certainly better than not making any effort whatsoever. Hope they have this feature fully fleshed out by the time Christmas comes around; they might snag a few people who want to trade up to a different bundle, if they do. Speaking of different bundles.... Where's all the colors at?! Black and white are okay, but come ON, Nintendo! Better yet, gimme a smash bundle featuring a Wii U with a picture of all the smash fighters emblazoned on one side, and a game pad with the smash ball logo in place of the home button, and then, provided you've made file transferring better, I'll get the new wii u bundle in a heartbeat...
Better than nothing, but still not as efficient as Sony and Microsoft system transfers. Nintendo has a ways to go, but they are at least making progress.
Nintendo doesn't really need it. Their system is durable. Only those who turn off the power during updates back during launch period and drop or bricks their Wii U doing something that must be avoid is their fault.
Best way to recover is NNID and Club Nintendo active.
As if that would be the only way to brick a Wii U, theres always some units that just brick after some time.
In pc/ps3/x0 i always backup my save data etc but theres no way to do that on the Wii U. Lets say that my house burns tomorrow, i can get every game and saves back on my pc/ps3/x0 but nothing on my new Wii U = laughable.
I had to get my 360 repaired 3 times. The fourth time it broke down, I just ended up buying a second one. So, I have no idea what you're talking about. Besides, problematic has no connection to generations and Wii U is not a problematic system. Besides, when's the last time you brought save data anywhere?
People How many documented reports are there of Bricked Wii U's ?
Also what does that have to do with this if you brick your system or get the RROD or the Blue light of death on the other systems can you move saved game files?
Heres why I ask I had a Wii and a ps3 last gen I got caught with no power strip and a electrical storm. Couldn't get the PS3 to work so I had to exchange it for a new one at my own cost. I wasn't able to retrieve data. So someone explain if you can do that on the other systems?
My Wii U had a little accident (It fell from the tv stand) and the usb ports are broken, the Wii U works perfectly but the "WII MODE" doesn't, when I try to enter Wii mode the screen goes black and the console shuts down. I transferred my Wii virtual console games to my Wii U and now those games are wasted as the Wii mode is useless, I don't have a Nintendo repair center in my country so I'm screwed right? link your games to the account Nintendo (I could've kept playing those games on the wii as well), god that's why I like my Steam more and more everyday ¬_¬
It's not Nintendo's fault the Wii U had that accident. If it was a software error unpatched by the console developers I would understand putting the blame on them.
Yep, I didn't said it was their fault, the trigger of my problem is the accident but is also an OS related issue as the Wii mode detects a problem with the usb port and in order to prevent a hack (a hole through the Wii mode using the usb, also seen related to some portable HDDs) it doesn't let me in, I'm not the only one with the problem, there are many people out there with the same issue but triggered by different situations. I'm not throwing the fault on them as I said before, it was triggered by an accident but I expressed "that things could be better with a multi-system account", Ninty is a little "stingy and backward" minded and there is no denying in that.
Because if people were careful enough, like myself, they would back up their PS3 saves to an external HDD/flashdrive every week. Therefore if the console did die (which mine did) I got a replacement PS3 and just carried on from where I left off, minus a few hours lost that week instead of the countless hours on various RPG's etc I would have lost if not for being smart with my data.
Nintendo's system does not offer that, so if the console does die you lose everything. After reading that article I have no idea why Nintendo thought people only want to transfer to a new console and not just keep their gamesaves safe....
That's suxs but hopefully it's gets patched!

Even last gen consoles weren't problematic like this.
