Prepare and backup Wii U for sale
I'm letting my Wii U go. Since I'm not switching to another unit (at least right now), what do I need to do and backup with Nintendo's weird protection policies to ensure that I can use my game saves and the games I purchased in the future on another unit? Or is everything lost because I'm not doing a direct account transfer (with both old and new Wii Us in my possession at once)? Is there anything else I should do before parting with the console?
