My old Wii had a problem with the optical drive. I tried to make it repaired from Nintendo, but they wanted 174 , so I preferred to buy a new one, in order to not get lost all Wii games I had bought via retail stores and via WiiWare. So, I've bought my new Wii today.
Back to home, I've set up the console, placed my credentials used on the old console, and I've discovered that my games acquired via digital delivering got lost.
"The Wii Shop Channel Account is tied to your specific hardware which contains the licenses for your downloaded games, and your account transaction history."
So I should buy them again, like I've never had the games before!
I've phoned Nintendo, in order to solve the situation positively, and the operator gives me a hope. I should call or send an e-mail to Nintendo telling them the old console serial number, the new console serial number, info about my account and then send via ordinary mail the receipt of the new console I've bought.
I've told at the operator that find the old console serial number is almost impossibile, given that I'd already thrown away the broken Wii. I should try to find the mail I'd sent when I'd opened the old Wii's RMA to Nintendo, and hope for the best.
This has happened to me, here in Italy. In USA is it the same thing, or does Nintendo allow the customer to download again previously purchased games via WiiWare in order to put them in a new Wii?
Thanks.
