That really sucks. What happens if the system bricks and you need to buy another one? You're essentially screwed.

Not screwed.   Contact Nintendo. 

You're only screwed if you do nothing.

Yeah, also the second part of the first reply is saying it's a work in progress. 

What level of incompetence does that display? A work in progress on something that's been in existence on other consoles and in the PC world for years.

Besides "future Nintendo consoles" sounds like transfer your NNA from Wii U to the Wii U2 when that gets released.

There will be enough noise about this that Nintendo won't retain this policy for long.
