sorry guys

I hd to send my wii in for repairs to nintendo, and i have no idea when it will be back. I'v been trying to work on the stupid thing for several weeks, and i finally gave up and im sending the stupid thing into Nintendo... and hopefully they'll keep my animal crossing data... if not then i'll need assistance getting all the fruits back -_-;

I sent in my Wii last year because of getting SSBB. I put it in the mail on a Weds. and got it back the following Tuesday. And it was during a holiday weekend (Easter).

Also they kept all my saved game information. They did format the Wii, so I had to redownload all my Virtual Console games. They also gave me a new Wii Console number. But all my saved game data was still in tact

I've had no problems with my Wii. & I got it 20th April 08.

I remember cos it;s 4 days after my confirmation.

 

[JasonBurrows]

I wonder if it's possible to ask them to keep the Virtual Console games and other things while they repair a Nintendo Wii?

 

[DirtyD]

No, they have to erase them. But you can redownload for free from the WiiShop Channel

 

[JasonBurrows]

Phew, I'm glad they're free once firstly downloaded.

 

[DirtyD]

They pretty much give you a free download ticket in the wiishop channel to redownload

 

[JasonBurrows]

Cool, as long as the data for the VC Games stays as I have some complete data.

 

[DirtyD]

I had to start each game fresh, because it was removed from the system. The saved data is within the game itself.

 

[JasonBurrows]

Cool, so what's the Wii System Memory with my Animal Crossing and VC Games, is that a seperate part?

 

[DirtyD]

Yes the actual saved game data goes right to the Wii console in the saved data section. But the VC games are seperate. You still keep your game data. I dont know about games like Mario Kart Wii which dont allow you to move the saved data to another Wii, because it was before Mario Kart Wii came out I did it, but I know when I played Twilight Princess, I picked up right where I left off before sending the Wii in

 

[JasonBurrows]

You see, my friend's Wii had to be sent in to be repaired and his Zelda: Twilight Princess, Mario Kart Wii and Super Smash Bros. Brawl data got completely erased.... 0.o

 

[DirtyD]

I guess it depends on the severity of the issue and what needs to be done in order to fix the Wii. All my data was fine, but it was just a simple fix of the lens, they still gave me a new console number though

 

[JasonBurrows]

Ouch 0.o

No it isnt... it is saved on the wii data files... i would know cos i must have erased and re-downloaded super mario 64 about 8 times, and i had the same amount of stars i left off from.
