This download cant be queued up or performed in the background, and you cant do anything else with the Wii while its happening. Wait five to 10 seconds for my list of purchased games to come up.Įach click requires a short page load, so this took ten more seconds or so. Theres no button on the Wii Shop Channel to just Redownload all purchased content. So I went about the tedious task of manual deletion for each file, a three-click process that required waiting a few seconds per game while the memory is cleared out. I could have found a new SD card, but I didnt really want to have my downloaded games on one card and my backed-up save files on another. Still, I had to wonder why I had backed up these games at all, since the backups apparently dont work even when the license files have been transferred.Įvery time I tried, I just got an error saying that game already exists on the SD card. The copy of I re-downloaded to the Wii U worked perfectly on the first try (even recognizing my backed up save file). I clicked through to the Games Ive downloaded section and was greeted with a six-page list of my purchased games, all set for free re-download. Thankfully, it recognized my account, complete with the 300 Wii Shop Points (3) that I had remaining in my balance. The whole back-and-forth procedure took about 10 minutes, much of which was spent watching an entertaining, Pikmin -themed animation play out on-screen.Īn error message appeared, telling me I couldnt play the game on the current Wii system. The tool operated much more smoothly and quickly now that it was transferring only one small file, representing the license data for my Wii purchases. The system came back with a new serial number, too, making me wonder why they didnt just give me an entirely new console when it was clear the memory was shot (then again, maybe they did). Frankly, Im more relieved that my 100 percent completion files on games like Super Mario Galaxy and Punch-Out were safe. Ill have to play through those games again if I want to re-unlock the characters and courses I had already earned. Most of my important save files were backed up to an SD card, but I did lose the uncopiable save files for games like Super Smash Bros.
