So buying a used WiiU has its advantages

whoever owned the console before me purchased multiple games, meaning all the games he purchased are available to redownload for free....This is with a new account btw I setup as well. Games are clearly linked to Console itself. Advice to those buying a second hand WiiU's...check all the games on the Store...you might be in for some "free" games!


Exactly what happened to me. I buy every console used if I can, but I cant lie this was a nice little surprise.

sorry for the necrobump.

I am selling my Wii U to a buddy and I have pikman, and a few other games installed. Can I just leave my ID on the system and the games will work for his kids on their profile?

Yeah, anything that's downloaded in the console will be available to everyone who's got a profile there. I even think it shouldn't be an issue if they create their own IDs then delete yours, but I'm not sure.
