I just recently transferred all my Wii stuff to my Wii U, and when I tried to play a N64 game it, said, "This channel can not be launched on this Wii console." How do I transfer Nintendo 64 games onto my Wii u?

  • Not sure enough to answer directly, but I recall seeing a generation comparison, and long story short, not all Wii Us support the older games. Really sucks if this is the case.

This thread on the Nintendo help forums suggests that it may be possible if you delete the game and re-download it. It seems that some users have had success in playing N64 games in Wii mode, so I would give it a shot. I believe the problem may lie in the fact that the software is designed to only work with a specific Wii (to prevent pirating), and that code did not update correctly when you transferred the data to your Wii U.

Make sure you have a classic controller though, as GC controllers will not work with the Wii U.

Sadly, transferred N64 games don't work on the Wii U when it is in Wii Mode. I would recommend buying the games again.
