Question

Save data.

I am thinking of trimming my Wii U collection down in favour of digital downloads, it saves space and constant disc changing . My question is.....If I have started a game using a physical copy, will the save data work on the same game if I download it digitally? hope somebody out there can amswer this for me.

    Pretty sure they use the same save since you aren't saving to disc. But I don't have a game both ways to test it.

    You might need to phone customer surport to see if all saves are compatable both ways , i know on PS3 there where quite a few where the disc saves where not compatable with the digital versions, now whether that's a developer problem or a system problem is something you need to find out on Wii U .

    I'm doing the exact same thing Clint. Going to download digital version on Friday for a game I have physical version of. If you haven't found an answer already ill let you know what happens for me by the weekend.

    Hi Clint. I originally downloaded the WiiU version of DeusEx from the eShop, played it for a while and then got the disc version later. I deleted the digital version while keeping the save files, and the disc copy did pick them up, allowing me to continue. Would probably work the other way around too, but I would test first, plus maybe check some forums too...

    The save will work, Clint. I did that with Monster Hunter with no problem at all.

    Hey Clint. I can confirm what everyone else is saying. I just downloaded Captain Toad Treasure Tracker and all my save data is still there. So looks good to trim the physical game collection for digital.
