Smash Wii U Use save data on a friends console?

[Psytrese]

Is it possible to record my save data to an SD card for use at a friends house? I can't find the option anywhere on my Wii U and it's making me pine for the days when doing this was as easy as removing your memory card.

Am I just missing the option somewhere or is there a way around this?

Wii U data can not be saved on an SD card. They can only be saved on the Wii U's hard drive or an external hard drive (and I don't think you can copy data to another Wii U user account/profile)

Huh, you can't transfer it to sd, but you can on your usb?

Yeah looks like you can transfer through USB but you can't transfer that data to another profile. Seems to be only for use as a backup but that's not what I'm looking for. I want to have all the characters and stages that I've unlocked ready for use elsewhere without having to lug my console about with me.

lol. Like the console is even that big. Sure, it's not the gamecube, but I bring my Wii U over to a friends house whenever we play Smash and it's really not that bad.

It's not the point. The guy has a Wii U. An SD card can fit in my pocket, a Wii U cannot. It requires being unplugged from my TV and power point, put in to a bag, lugged around, then my friends console has to unplugged from his TV and power point then replaced with mine. Finally when we're done I have to repeat the process in reverse. And during this entire time if my flatmates want to play Wii U? Tough ****. Whereas at my friends I'm sitting with a spare gathering dust in a corner.

It's inconvenient when 15 years ago the process was simple. All the data would be saved to a memory card and all game cases even provided a space where you could keep it during transport.
