Nintendo not even having an account for you is one of the reasons why I don't buy games from their online stores. If they can't let me redownload my games if I need to, then I won't buy them in the first place.

Actually, you can redownload your games for free.

it's tied to the cosole though not to you.  if you wanted to upgrade to a newer model or replace one with a impending hardware failure you are SoL and loose all of your games.  360 and ps3 have ways to transfer your info should you choose to upgrade your hardware.

Like Rainbird said, call Nintendo.  Not a fun step to take but it works.  Also helps to have your collection registered with Nintendo.   I'm not saying it's a good system or that they shouldn't go to a universal log in system but saying you can't transfer your games is false.
