Having bought a Wii U rcently, I've been curious as to whether or not there's some means of getting the same games purchased in the past on the Wii's Virtual Console to be playable on the Wii U system?
I had gotten rid of the Wii before the Wii U came to market, and it wasn't until the launch of the newer system that Nintendo decided to come up with a way of linking all your purchase data to a single user ID. I haven't made that many online purchases on my Wii, though there are a few that I had made, including the original Kid Icarus and Super Metroid.
It's not a big deal that these games are forever lost, I suppose. Though, it might be nice to actually have the games available if I wanted to play them again. Is there some way of recovering this data? There doesn't seem to be any information about these games on my account.
