I have two Wii systems, and only two downloads on one of them. Not too terribly worried about that one. I'd like to keep what I have on it, but if I can't, I'm not really going to miss much.

Yeah i'll trade in my $300 Vita for $90 trade-in. Such a deal. WHAT A STEAL!!!

Wow 90$ for it I'm shocked they offer that much with at that stock they can't even sell ;). 

Anyway just traded my ps3 slim and 1 of my 2 wii's and paid off in full 3 yes 3 wii u's and 8 games. 

1 deluxe 2 reg editions. I wanted 2 extra deluxe versions but GameStop has officially closed reserves for the deluxe :(. Cost me 1012$ and I plan on reserving 2-3 more if they reopen or I can find a store reserving the deluxe. 

Edit only paid off the systems not the games

A rule of thumb that has served me well: Never get rid of your old consoles.

That is all.


I am selling my Dreamcast and 8 games tomorrow for 50 bucks......

So if you’ve already traded in your Wii system with all of your WiiWare and Virtual Console games to GameStop then you’re totally boned. You won’t be able to get those games back on your Wii U, you’ll need to repurchase them.

To summarize: You won’t be able to transfer your old Wii data, virtual console and WiiWare games to your Wii U unless you still have your Wii functioning and connected to the internet.

This isn’t terrible. It is probably the best solution Nintendo could come up with to make up for the fact that the Wii has no central account system to control issues like this.

But is still going to be upsetting for consumers who don’t look out for information like this and realize one day that all those downloaded games on their old Wii are forever gone.

So until you get that shiny new Wii U in your home don’t sell your Wii!


??? If i sell my wii to my friend (or gamestop) and he get all the downloable games... then i can not get em again if i call to nintendo with my serial number.. oh i forget.. it's not mine anymore... :) offcourse..

After hearing about that new PS3 being announced, I copied my game saves, wiped the hard drive, and got $150 knocked off my black Wii U pre-order. $150 more to go. Should not be a challenge to save that in 2 months.



don't waste time
