If I paid to download old games on my Wii, can I download them again on the WiiU for free?

So are you asking that if you do not transfer your Wii data to the Wii U console, can you go to the Nintendo eshop and download the games again? You can, but it is definitely not free, that's why they have you transfer all your data

I don't know but I seen a feature in the settings that allows you to transfer data from Wii to Wii U.

You can tranfer all of your old downloaded games from your wii to your wiiu as long as you have an SD card (this will also wipe everything off your wii). The wiiu has a "wii mode" that just looks like the old wii home screen, from there you can play your transferred games and old wii game disks.

I would say Yes, if the game has those connections.The Red, Yellow, White video/audio connections.I can connect my Wii that way, but you have to play it on computer screen.

Yes, you can play the Wii version on the Wii U. The Wii U is backwards compatible with all Wii titles.

Yes, we have the Wii u. I think you can use Wii games on the Wii U but not the other way around.

It should still work. However if they used the code to download the game it won't work bc it's linked to the original owner's account.

This is not an answer but me too, I am very surprised. I would assume that this is because of the different release times. Older Wii will still be sold based on the earlier prices newer will with a free game will be sold with less price.

Manterspoint: I'm not 100% sure, but here's what I think...if you download it you may only get ONE download out of it, but if you own the cartridge I would think you'd be free to load it as many times as you wanted. That's my opinion anyway....good luck!

I'm not quite sure but I do no if you connected it to the computer, you would get free games or some cheap ones on the sites, did you ask for the CD for it.

Yes. It allows you to download one free game during initial setup, but everything else has to be bought. Unless you're willing to spend $3+ for sale items or as much as $25 for other apps, this may not be what you're looking for. Nothing is free. It appears most things are $10+.

The answer is yes and no. You can you use that disc to download the new version of the game, but the classic version no longer exists.I made a mistake before and said you cannot use the code that comes with it to play, but you can. You also get the free thirty day trial.

If you download them from the playstation store, then yes, i believe so. The store may not carry the games you want, however. Otherwise, i do not believe the system is backwards compatible. Therefore it cant play the disks.

Yes. You can actually still use the old game disk as well, you just have to install the second disk of the set which has all the dlc on it

No, Wii U games will only work on the Wii U. The hardware inside the system is very different, so the publisher would need to create a separate Wii version. Unfortunately it looks like there will be very few new games available for the original Wii at this point.
