They have a solution it's called Nintendo Consumer Service. As long as you have the serial number they will transfer your VC content to another system. The problem is Nintendo will not let you transfer your games over multiple systems. Also your will need to have one of those Wiis connected to a MY Nintendo account.

That's not exactly the best of solutions.

 

So you admit that the article you linked to is a complete lie. There is a solution, that has no major flaws and only 1 minor flaw, in that it takes about 10-15 minutes of your time.



This is indeed a serious issue, and if they don't make a proper solution I think a lot of the most loyal customers will be very pissed off when the Wii successor comes out, and suddenly you have to rebuy all your VC games to play on the new system.

We will see. Nintendo do a lot of awesome stuff, but their online service feels like it's 20 years old.



There's no problem.

If you really want a black Wii that badly, then just apply a few coats of paint.

I don't think this was an oversight. I think Nintendo didn't want to introduce an account system fearing it would be too intimidating to non-core players. I believe they were fully aware this was problematic but they choose to to keep the interface as simple as they could.

If so, I think Nintendo needs to stop treating its consumer base like total idiots.  >_>

   

Yeah, good luck with that.

Nobody's posted the "not my problem" pic yet?



I agree to hating the system they set up for software licences. It's crappy and I want a long term solution.



Squilliam: On Vgcharts its a commonly accepted practice to twist the bounds of plausibility in order to support your argument or agenda so I think its pretty cool that this gives me the precedent to say whatever I damn well please.

But I doubt they go with things like friend codes because they're simple.

I remember when I called them up saying my Wii won't read my GameCube/Wii discs and they asked me if I was putting the discs in logo side up. And I asked them, you got to be kidding me. Then asked them, do you know what "Revolution" is?

When they didn't have an answer, I was like, there ya go.

 

EDIT: I love the pic of the 8 year old driving a car while playing DS.



There is a way to transfer your vc/wii ware games from the wii, only thing is that you have to mod your wii (softmod works) then you can just dl the games you already own and put them on an sd card. Just need to install the homebrew channel and use wad manager to install the vc/wii ware game that you own onto the new system (it's a lot less hassle)

If this happens to me, I will buy a new Wii, sell all my game discs, and pirate the hell out of everything. Go tell mommy and daddy.
