This would require a hack which is beyond the scope of this website to cover.Īs for confirming and commenting on the migration process, having just done this myself I can verify much of what you said. The HD format for external devices on the Wii U is closed and proprietary, and each drive has the hardware ID for it's home system as part of the encryption so it will not work on a second Wii U without reformatting as of the last time I checked. If for some magical reason it does recognize the data, then this whole question is moot, but in the meantime, any guidance is greatly appreciated!įirst off, in regards to your end question: No. I suspect it will prompt for a reformat and nothing else, which is why I'm posing this question to begin with. Once their NNID's are transferred to the target Wii U (theirs) we will see if the USB drive is recognized by the console. or is there some other method of doing this that we haven't considered? If so, will copying the data in the way described above allow their save data to be useable on the target Wii U?.Has anyone figured out what this file system format is, and gained access to it?.It sounds to me like the Wii U is formatting the drive in some proprietary file system format, so. From what I read in a forum post from July 2013, Ubuntu Linux will at least see the drive, but not the data.

Both Windows 8 and OS X Mavericks are unable to recognize any data on the USB drive and simply wish to format it. USB drive should now a) be recognized by target Wii U and b) have useable save dataĪnd so we encounter our problem.After drive is formatted, copy save data from computer to USB drive.If target Wii U reads data - success! If not, format USB drive for target Wii U.After NNID transfer is complete, insert USB drive into target Wii U.Copy all data from USB drive to another drive (e.g., computer).While logged in as NNID to be moved, copy save data from source Wii U to USB drive.The second person we spoke with suggested that it may still be possible to transfer save data. We have already initiated the process of transferring their NNID's to their console we're just waiting to get the go-ahead from Nintendo to try to use them on their Wii U. Especially considering that I also have all my original Wii data on my Wii U, this is simply not a solution. However, Nintendo's support site as well as the first person we spoke with says that for save data to be transferred, a complete system transfer must be done this moves EVERYTHING, and formats the source system. We called Nintendo, and they said it is possible to transfer their NNID's from my Wii U (the source system) to theirs (target system), which will transfer the ID as well as any purchased content (it will be queued to re-download on their console). They just got a new Wii U, and we want to transfer their NNID's (Nintendo Network ID's), purchased content, and save data from my Wii U to their Wii U while leaving all of my data alone. For several months I had been keeping my Wii U at my friends' house.
