How to Transfer Wii Saved Games to the Wii Console

The Nintendo Wii is a motion-sensitive home video game console that allows you to save your game data to an SD card for backups and storage. Because the Wii has a limited internal hard drive, saving your games to an SD card helps to free up space on the system's memory. Once you have transferred your saved games to an SD card, you can access and transfer them back any time through the "Save Data" menu.
