Wii Shop Content Missing after Wii to Wii U System Transfer

Wii U

The information in this article can help you when games, DLC (downloadable content), or applications are missing from the Wii Shop on Wii U after completing a system transfer.

What to do

  1. After completing a system transfer, you may need to redownload content from the Wii Shop.
    • DLC purchased within a game will need to be redownloaded using the same method that was used to purchase it. (For example, additional content purchased from within a game will need to be re-downloaded through the same option in the game.)
  2. Make sure the missing content is not an application that is ineligible for transfer.
    • A message will appear during the transfer process if you have any content that will not transfer.
    • Any content that does not transfer to the Wii U can still be played on your Wii system.
