Got a Wii U for Xmas (yay me). I'm wondering whether or not I should bother transferring the data from my Wii to my Wii U.

The only transferable data I have on there are my Miis & my game saves. I don't have any virtual console games.

The thing that gets me is if I wanted to have the Wii in another room to play, then I would no longer have my saves after the transfer. Also heard that Nintendo actually charges to transfer Miis from Wii to Wii U. I pretty much could just recreate my Miis w/ little issue on the Wii U if that's the case.

What are your opinions about this? Did you guys transfer your data?
