Wii U update adds system transfers, eShop navigation options

You can use more than just the GamePad now

Recommended Videos

As of an update released this week for Wii U, it’s now possible to move software and save data to a new console. God, I hope I never have to go through that. Never a good time.

The other new feature — Wii Remote, Wii U Pro Controller, and Classic Controller support for eShop navigation — will get far more use. I’ve never had a problem just using the GamePad, but this is one of those things that really ought to be a user choice. Glad to see it now is.

Nintendo has a detailed FAQ about system transfers should you ever need to do one.
