You transfer them (among other things) from your Wii to your Wii U with an SD card.

You can access the Wii Shop Channel through Wii Mode, I don't know if you can access the Virtual Console games without having to go into Wii Mode though.

There have been a few articles popping up on how you go about transferring them from the Wii to Wii U - I'd imagine via SD card or something.

  • Insert an SD card into the Wii U's SD card slot.
  • Open the Wii Transfer Application.
  • When instructed, transfer the same SD card to the Wii.
  • Go to the Wii Shop channel, and Download a transfer application.
  • Run the transfer application on the Wii, which it will transfer all data to the SD card.
  • Insert SD Card into the Wii U. All data will then be transferred then deleted from SD card.

So, I've seen the eShop cards at Target already. But will Wii U accept Nintendo points or are they drawing a clear line there?
