How to transfer data from old Wii to new WII?

Hi There!

Our WII "bit the dust" and we replaced it with a new one. Do we have to start over by creating another MII or is the original data stored somewhere online?

Thank you in advance.

The best you can do is transfer your Wiiware and virtual console games with an SD card, but otherwise pretty much all your save data is gone.. However if you want to atleast keep your mii if the system will still atleast turn on etc. you can put your miis into your wiimote and put them in your new wii

Yeah I had a Wii break too. Luckily it would at least turn on and I could move most of my save files to and SD card, transfer my Miis to remotes (10 per remote), and had Nintendo transfer my Club Nintendo account so I could redownload my games. If you can't turn it on though that makes things more complicated. You probably have to send it to Nintendo and see if they can do anything. Also to answer your question the only way you can download your Miis from the internet is if you uploaded them to the Check Mii Out channel or you sent them to a friends Wii, you can have them resend it.

Considering he's 100% wrong the topic is still wide open

You need to contact Nintendo and have them switch the licenses, since all the games are tied to the console you can't swap them from an old console to a new one

In some cases you can send both units to Nintendo and they'll do the swap for you

So you can't transfer VC data through an SD Card? I could have sworn you could...

No, I was hoping to sway people your way lol

If you got your Wii fixed and it's the same console, then everything should be there. But if it's a new Wii it's what everyone already said.
