I don't want to burst your bubble, but no gaming console in the history of forever has done that legally, not sure why you thought that'd change here.

 

Downloaded games are tied to the Wii U they're downloaded on for now.

Well, I don't think that expecting something like that to happen is a bad thing. Anyway, if it can't be done, it can't be done. thanks for the replies

You buy them digitally instead of physical. There's no other LEGAL way to do it.

wow that's bad. So i cannot even copy/ back up my LEGALLY bought discs to an external hard drive and load them from there? pfffff.

Another question, Can I play a game i have digitally downloaded on another console?

Update on my impressions

+ excellent design, especially the Zelda pack looks great

+ impressed with the GamePad

- angry at the time it takes to set it up and download/install new update

question: In the store I found the wii remote (the thing that you connect to the nunchuck) for $45 and the same thing in a bundle with a game (mario etc) for $60. Are these games worth it?
