You get a Wii number ^^

But Nintendo doesn't know it's your Wiinumber.  Nintendo would need you to register that Wiinumber with an account somewhere along the line.

You can register your Wii to your Club Nintendo account (used to be My Nintendo).  Nintendo knows every single VC game I have downloaded due to my Wii being linked to my Club Nintendo account.
