How to Transfer Saves to the Wii

SD card

Each Nintendo Wii console has an internal memory of 512 megabytes. Unlike the GameCube before it, the Wii has no memory card option, but it does have an SD card slot. If you want to transfer saved game data to another Wii, copy it onto an SD card.

1. Place the SD card in the SD card slot on your Wii. It's on the front cover beneath the SD slot cover.

3. Click "Data Management," then "Save Data," then "Wii."

4. Select the save you want to transfer and click "Copy" and "Yes" to confirm.
