If I downloaded games or other content from the Wii Shop Channel, is it possible to transfer them to Wii U?

Sorry for the late response. Yes indeed you can! All you need is a Wii console, at least one Wii Mote, and SD card and of course, a Wii U console. You can find videos of the process on You Tube. I plan on transfering downloaded games from my Wii to Wii U soon. Good luck!

You can see them as files in a folder, the you could also download and keep, but can not play if you want.But if what you want is playing you can download any game play store and play.

As others stated, Wii-U games are only playable on a Wii-U console. The Wii-U however is completely backwards compatible with all Wii titles, Wii Virtual Console titles, and Wii-Motes/Nunchucks, except a few dance games/accessories that may require the GameCube controller ports. The Wii-U is not backwards compatible with GameCube games or accessories.

Yes, you can add on the extra downloadable content to multiple devices. I have done this to three different consoles, without issue.

Not even a little. All wii games can be played on wii u but not the other way around.

You can play all Wii games on the Wii U as long as you have the wii remote. You cannot play Wii games on the Wii U gamepad, though.

I would think so, but I have mine hooked up to a WiiU. Western Digital may have a help page on the net...

Yes, it will work with the Wii U provided the audio output is LPCM. From what I have read, most current games for the Wii support LPCM audio output.David

No, the Wii U is a totally different system, and therefore has all different hardware, drivers, etc. Same reason this won't work on Playstation

You can play wii games on the wii u. You will have to save the data from the wii on a sd card and tranfer it to the wii u. Wii u has instruction on how to do it

Nope, Wii games played on the Wii U must be played with Wii controllers. You can pick up the Wii Classic Pro Controller and a Wii mote, but as for the Wii U Pro controller, that can only be used with compatible Wii U games.

No. But there is another made for the old wii you can buy instead. This one is made for Wii U

Perhaps. There are GameCube controller adapters such as Mayflash Nintendo GameCube Controller Adapter for Wii/Wii U that supposedly will allow you to play on the Wii U. I haven't tried one.The Wii U does not have GameCube ports, and games released on the Wii U aren't made with the GameCube control scheme in mind.

Yes, we have the Wii u. I think you can use Wii games on the Wii U but not the other way around.
