Can you move game data from one wii to another?

Question

Me and my bro have 2 different wii's in 2 different locations, is there any way to stick game data from one wii to another using a memory card? If you can, where can I buy the memory cards, and how do I do it?

Answer 1

Yes, you can. In your Wii Settings, there should be a section for data management--you can copy your data to an SD card (you don't have to buy the official Wii SD card--any SD card will do, and will probably be cheaper, too) and take it to another Wii console and copy it to the internal memory there.

One problem is that the Wii can only store one data file per game in its internal memory. So, for example, if you put your Zelda game save into your SD card and take it to your brother's Wii, if he's also been playing Zelda, you'll have to either move or delete the Zelda data in his Wii's memory before copying over your game save from your SD card. The solution, of course, is for you guys to both have SD cards, so he can move his data to his card when you copy over data from your card to his Wii.

And the Wii has been outselling the PS3 twice over this past holiday season.

Answer 2

It looks like you can, but i actually did try it. The answer is no. You can back it up, but nintendo has restricted copying of the data. (people download virtual console games, put it on sd card, give to friend for free) Nintendo is actually a smart company. I tried copying my wii sports game data to a friend's console and it wouldnt recognize the data on my sd card. It did see the photos i had on it, but thats all. Must be encrypted. Of course nintendo will let you save your mii's onto your remote. Plus, you can save any gamecube games onto a GC memory card and transfer gc data.
