E3 2012 | Transfer Wii Save Data, Virtual Console to Wii U

Do you have a pimped out Wii full of downloads and save files? Nintendo is working on a transfer function to Wii U.

With the Wii on the market for over five years and Nintendo hosting a whole wealth of downloadable content for the system, it's likely that existing players would want to pop all their content to run on Wii U - saving the hassle of switching between consoles.

Fortunately, back compatibility isn't an issue as Nintendo are "readying the system to be able to transfer saves and everything you've bought", the company said during a Q&A session last night.

Nintendo are working on the logistics of such a transfer - how would it work with user accounts on the system, for example.

What's more interesting is how Nintendo will deal with the Virtual Console and WiiWare titles themselves - will these be playable on the small screen? Will there be integration with the MiiVerse service for sharing tidbits about these classic and unique Wii games?

Do you have a large Wii virtual collection that you'll be wanting to port to Wii U?
