Nintendo has confirmed that WiiWare, Virtual Console, and your all-important Wii saves will be transferable to Nintendo’s next console, Wii U. Obviously this is huge news for all those existing Wii owners looking to migrate over to Wii U when the console launches this holiday season.
“We are readying the system, yes, to transfer saves and everything you’ve bought.”
– Katsuya Eguchi, designer and manager at Nintendo EAD.
I hope this includes online files…
of course it will, that’s what games saves are.
I just specified because we can’t transfer them ourselves, and when I phoned Nintendo about it a few months ago the guy said he wasn’t sure if they had the facilities.
then phone them again and ask them about for the specification.also tell them to improve them if they are weak or else wiiU is a current generation.god help us all
That wasn’t about the Wii U, My Wii is really damaged and I asked if I bought a new one could they transfer between 2 Wiis and he said he wasn’t sure, looks like they’ve found a way to transfer them by now.
my wii was stolen and they helped me transfer my vc games to my new one…they asked for both system serial numbers and my club nintendo info…i faxed all the info and a few days later they gave me a call and told me that i can go downlaod all my games again at no cost

Back in May 2011, IGN built a Wii U (known as Project Cafe or Wii 2 then) based on hardware information received from game and hardware development. The IGN Gear team found retail PC components comparable to the ones Nintendo was expected to use in their new system and built a “raw” mock console… Read about the hardware build
Console Hardware
Storage
Internal flash memory (amount unknown)
Expandable memory via SD memory card or external USB hard drive
CPU
IBM Power®-based multi-core microprocessor
IBM has also revealed it to be a 45nm chip, with embedded DRAM. Additionally, the CPU is based on the same chip that is used in the Watson supercomputer, implying it is a Power7 model. (Source: Kotaku)
Previously rumored to be roughly 50% more powerful than PS3. (Source: IGN) Recent reports of actual hardware however suggest it to be much greater, putting it around 20% less powerful than the next gen Xbox (which is rumored to be at least 6 times more powerful than current gen consoles). Again, all rumors however.
GPU
AMD Radeon-based High Definition GPU
Reports from 2011 suggest it is based on the RV770 architecture, unlike previous reports which merely pointed to the general R700 series and supports DirectX 10.1
This chip is used in ATi’s Radeon HD 4800 series cards
“Eyefinity-like multi-display tech for up to four SD video streams”
According rumors about details leaked by a Ubisoft employee just before E3 2012, the console uses an AMD Radeon HD 6770 and supports DirectX 11
Note that none of this is official from Nintendo

RAM
According rumors about details leaked by a Ubisoft employee just before E3 2012, the console will have 2 GB of RAM, with 560 MB of RAM dedicated to the main OS.
Wii U Daily Rumors
In early December, Wii U Daily reported hardware information supposedly received from a Japanese developer. They consisted of:
Quad-core, 3 GHz PowerPC-based 45 nm CPU, very similar to the Xbox 360 chip.
768 MB of DRAM “embedded” with the CPU, and shared between CPU and GPU
Unknown, 40 nm ATi-based GPU
While Wii U Daily suggested that this would put the Wii U on par with the XBox 360 in terms of performance[2], PCMag.com clarified, that not only were some of the details inevitably misreported, but that just the processor specs would, ” ‘ In terms of raw power, … put the Wii U way ahead of the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.’ ”

i have just found it from IGN’s website.i hope it would be a little usefull
no, no it isn’t.
Very good. On a side note, I wonder if Suda 51 is working on No More Heroes 3? Leave luck to heaven.
That would be kickass. A next gen Travis and gore would be visually appealing. ;)
O.O HELL YES! I’m still keeping my Wiis though, mostly just for Gamecube
