They have to leave shop channel open.


why?

-To sell games; all Wiiware & VC is also compatable with the Wii U in Wii mode.

-It is home to important software fixes, like the Skyward Sword save file fixer.

-It is the only way to get the Netflix, Youtube, Hulu+ or Amazon Instant video streaming apps.

that still doesnt answer my question they dont have to leave it open, they can shut it down if they want. Does the Wii U not have the entire WiiWare and VC library on its network? And if they dont how does one transfer their games from Wii to Wii U? is it on a flash drive, what about data that is not transferable to that? Im asking cause i really dont know.

Is the SS update really on the store? I have the game but i never reached the part where it became an issue. Fair enough on the apps, but wouldnt most people have that stuff by now? Wouldnt they just use it on another device? 

You can access the Wii Shop channel through the Wii channel on the Wii U.  The Wii U eshop is completely separate and different.  If you log onto the Wii Shop channel on the Wii U then you still see everything that is on the Wii Shop channel on the Wii.  I had to re download about 20-30 games because they wouldn't transfer over to the Wii System memory on the Wii U (same space that was available on the Wii is set aside for the Wii Channel on Wii U).  So I could only transfer the amount of space located to the Wii (I couldn't just bring them all over on a SD card).  The SD card channel is present on the Wii U (Wii home channel) so after doing the initial transfer you go onto the Wii shop and download all the games onto a SD card to play through the SD card channel.
