New Wii old downloads?

[Lethal]

My original Wii broke and I bought another. Is there anyway I can get the $100 worth of games back without paying for them again? Microsoft and Sony allow you to redownload the games YOU PAID for.

try calling the nintendo company or somthing

I know that Nintendo says if your Wii Shop account is deleted/removed you lose all your games. I have also heard (sorry, can't remember where exactly) that if you run into problems to give Nintendo a call. If anyone can help you, they can.

Hopefully this helps. Please don't hesitate to PM me if you have any questions.

Nintendo should hook you up seeing as this is a fault of theirs, but the problem may lie in the fact that there may be no proof of the games you had. Did you send the broken one to them? If it was still under warranty, even if you didn't, they still may be able to do something for you in the matter; as far as getting back what you paid for with the games, maybe if you call and talk it out with them and get the old one to them, there should be no reason for them not to help you; this is probably not the first time this problem has come up.

Why did you buy another one? The Wii has a one year warranty. You could have gotten it fixed for free (unless it was broken because of something that voided the warranty).

You can in that case send it in to get it fixed, and then turn around and sale it for plenty of money to get all your VC games back and then some.

One YEAR?

'Scuse me?

I was under the impression that you got 30 days when you bought it, and then 60 more days if you registered it.

Do I really get a year? Plus 2 months for registering it?

The 30 Days (I think) When you buy the store warranty thing, but the console it self has like a year (I think) or its the other way around lol. Sorry if this post doesn't help

EDIT: Yeah the Console itself has 1 Year Warranty (send it back to Nintendo way)

Did you save any of those channels on an sd card? Maybe that could be enough proof.
