Sorry if off-topic, but my disappointment with Wii U is a lack of account system. I'm really worried about how the transfer works so maybe someone can clarify me some things:


1. If I have all my Wii VC games on an SD card and I get an empty SD card and do the transfer thing... it will copy just the Wii Shop info, save files and other stuff, but not the games right? So I'll be able to download all my Wii VC games in the Wii U, and still play the Wii VC games installed on the first SD card?

2. Are the save files also erased when I do the transfer? Or is it possible to have save files on both systems?

3. Is it possible to do the transfer multiple times? For example today I just move a game, tomorrow another game, etc?


You can transfer everything from your Wii, including the Wii games you downloaded from the Wii Shop. Saved files will also be transfered. This is a one time transfer and it will be erased completly from your Wii. One time and no more, everything will be transfer. You cannot choose what files to transfer. Once they are on the Wii mode of the Wii U, you can download them to be played on Wii U mode if you pay $1.00 and $1.50 (for NES and SNES titles, respectively) on the Wii U eshop when they become available. Price will be displayed automatically only if you have them on the Wii mode of the Wii U. 

I am guessing that you don't have the system, why are you asking? see people don't know what is the problem they have because they don't like to read the manual instructions. everything I am telling you is in the instructions except the virtual console thing when they become available on the Wii U eshop.
