I'm back baby!
Twice now I've come to use the Wii and Mario Kart Wii/Wii Sports save game data has been conspicuous by it's absence.

How is it possible to delete all save game data and yet not lose any Mii from the console?

It is entirely probable that the resident 4 year old has deleted it (though he knows not to play the console alone, mummy doesn't keep as close an eye on him when he is allowed to play on it as I would like) but he's no idea what he did. In fairness, I can't find what he did either.

Any ideas?
 
seeing as know one has replied I'll try

I'm going to go for the child deleting it by accident option

ELSE

I can't remember if the WII has internal memory, if you are saving to internal memory can you not just stick an SD card in the SD slot and copy your save games, I'm not sure if this is possible, you will need a WII user to confirm this

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong this is all from memory. :)

Miis can't be deleted through the normal Data management screen in the Wii settings menu as far as I know. You have to do it through the Mii Channel or whatever it's called. Also Miis can be backed up or copied on to your actual Wiimotes. This would explain why your Miis remain after your save data has departed. Unlucky. :(

The Wii has internal memory which is the default save media. You can manually copy some game saves to SD card. I'm pretty sure that some game saves wont copy.

I'd just stop the little 'un from playing! :p
 
Very odd. I don't think it's even possible to just delete the save data from either one through the game itself. He'd have had to get through the Wii's menus to the save screen, and be very picky about what he did.

That's what I was thinking, so I'm wondering if there's a problem with the box itself not writing data properly.
