Are the saves transferable to another Wii

zelda-skyward-sword

I have tried to move several Wii saves from one console to another in the past with an SD card, and some games seem to have disabled this feature. I am currently traveling and would like to start playing Skyward Sword, but I want to make sure I can offload this save and take it home with me when the time comes.

For example, Mario Kart Wii, Several Pokemon games, Super Smash Bros Brawl, etc., these saves are non-copyable.

Are Skyward Sword saves allowed to be copied from one Wii to another, within the same region?

Best Answer

Yes. Skyward Sword games saves can be copied to an SD card. They take up one block of memory.

Keep in mind that that game saves are locked to your region. From Wii Save:

We're nearly positive you can't use foreign saves on your Wii. We're still looking in to a way to do it, but so far, it's not looking good. You'll most likely have to stick to your own region when swapping saves.

As long as the Wii you use is in the same region as your Wii at home, you should be fine.

I've downloaded a couple of Wii save files from that site, and never had a problem. I've never tried to copy between consoles, though. When copying saves, you have to delete any existing save files from the destination before the Wii will copy anything. It won't overwrite.
