It can be incredibly frustrating when switching game play between more than one Nintendo Wii console and not being able to continue your previous game. The only way to solve it is by finding a way to save your game files from one console to the other. This is much easier than it may seem at first and can be done in a matter of minutes. You'll be able to continue your saved games on any Wii console in no time.
