Rumor: Used Wii Us let you download previous user's games
It makes sense, given that all user accounts on a single Wii U console are able to access previously purchased content. What makes less sense is that previous purchases seem to remain connected to the hardware even after the associated accounts are deleted. Regardless, you might be in for a pleasant surprise if you pick up a used Wii U.

Feet Why would you buy a new console then?
If you knew about this there's no way you would even think about that.

So in theory, pre-owned Wii U consoles should not deteriorate in price due to this. I suppose this will be good for people who own one and want to sell it, they may be able to get more money back opposed to the console not allowing users to do this.
It will be interesting to see whether this gets fixed, as you could purchase a pre-owned Wii U in say, 2 years, and it will come packed with a huge amount of games.
