It's not news that Nintendo themselves can do it. Of course they can. The issue is that they have a complete disregard for their customer's right to the product they've bought.

Like if you wanted to sell your Wii, the terms and conditions actually saiythat you HAVE TO delete your Wii Shop account and lose all your purchases. Yes, you can buy a Wii U and transfer, blabalbla. That is not an argument. The point is that Nintendo belives all the stuff you bought still belongs to them and not to the person who bought it.

They are NOT a consumer-friendly company, just because they transfer your stuff if you have a broken console.

That the "cloud" wasn't ready is not a believable argument, you dont need a cloud to register user accounts. They are consumer-unfriendly, and they are useless at online. They obviously only made the Wii U transfer tool because they knew it would be an outrage if they didnt, but they didnt even manage to merge the Wii Shop into the Wii U Shop, its a joke of a service.

Maybe it will improve in the future. Maybe. They have had 6 years to build an online service that works, they should have been ready. They weren't.

Excellent post, agreed with everthing. I kinda regret buying a lot of stuff for the Wii, not living in the US I don't know what will I do if it breaks, I invested a lot in it, specially the Virtual Console.
