Hello all,
I bought the Wii U basic on launch day and preformed a Wii to Wii u system transfer, and everything went well, so I had all my Wii save data on my SD card. A while back around May 2014 my Wii U was having issues (blinking red light) and I sent it in to nintendo repairs. It was noted that I should take everything out the Wii U including the SD card before sending it in. Only until now I bought an very old wii game and wanted to play it, I put it in my Wii u (with the SD card) and all my Wii saves are gone, but I still have a Virtual Console game on there, but not my original Wii saves which is weird. I can only blame myself because I really didnt check everything once I got my Wii U back, only thing I checked where my Wii U saves which were all still there.
The only explanation I can think is maybe the blinking red light caused the deleting of my save data (which sounds a little redundant lol) or just me sending in my Wii U. One thing I did try is put my SD in my computer to see if there is something on there and there is a wii folder that was creadted 11/18/2012, so I am hoping thats my save data.
I emailed nintendo cause I can't call them at the moment since its late. So I am turning to the fourms to see if anyone else had this type of problem or knows a soultion, if not then I can accept the fact my saves are gone. Thanks.
