How to Transfer Wii Data to an SD Card

The Nintendo Wii has a limited amount of built-in memory storage to use for saving game data files. You can transfer game saves stored on the Wii to a Secure Digital (SD) memory card once it has been properly formatted on a PC. This process will let you save space on the Wii for future uses. The SD card can be accessed by the Wii. The game saves that are placed on it can be used at any time.
