Notes

Data will be deleted from the source Wii U console once transferred.

Data (including save data and users) already saved on the target console will be deleted during the transfer, and replaced with data from the source console.

If you were using a USB storage device with the target console, you will no longer be able to use it with either console after the transfer. In addition, data the console saved to the USB device (including save data) will be unusable. You must re-format the USB storage device to continue using it with the console.

Software and items previously purchased from Nintendo eShop on the target console will be deleted. However, you can redownload them from Nintendo eShop free of charge by linking your existing Nintendo Network ID to a user on the target console after the transfer.

Make sure you are familiar with your Nintendo Network ID's name, password and email address, as you will need them to link it to the target Wii U console again.
