Hey everyone,

 

My old Wii console died a few months back and now my brother is giving me his Wii that he has at this time. I never got the chance to remove my Nintendo account from my old console though since I got rid of it. I was wondering if it is possible to have my account on more than one console at once since I got a new console.:smileywink:

 

Thanks

Kudos!

i dont know if this works with the sites new layout but if you log on to your account information (my account or something like that) im pretty sure you can disconnect it from there

Since all it does is list games you buy in the shop channel in your profile, I don't think there'd be any problem with having more than one system linked to your account. It won't transfer any games already on that list to your new Wii, however.

 

The only way to get games back that you had on the old system, without paying for them again, is to have it repaired. That is of course assuming you still have it stored somewhere. Even if you don't have any games on the old system and have no use for it now, you can still pay to have it repaired, then sell it at a profit. Just throwing it away is a waste.

Kudos!

Ya, I would pay to have it repaired, but I cannot afford shipping and stuff. This is why my brother gave me his Wii console. Also, all of the games he has on his system I had on my old one.:smileywink: So it isn't too much of a big deal.:smileywink:

In that case, you could always sell the working one. If you did that, you'd probably make enough money to repair the old system, repurchase games the new system had that the old system didn't, and still have a decent amount of money left over to make the work worthwhile.

Computers,

 

This is really not hard thing to accomplish.  Just contact NOA Customer Service at 1800 255-3700.  They are available from 6AM-7PM PST.  The person will add the second Wii to your My Nintendo Account.  You will need to enquire about the Wii Shop Channel purchases with the NOA employee.

Kudos!

OK. I will contact Nintendo I suppose and hope that they can transfer all of my Wii Shop Channel downloads to my new console.:smileyhappy: I know it isn't hard to transfer my registration pin from this new console to My Nintendo Account and remove the old registration as I have done this before.:smileywink:

Kudos!
