That's the great thing about media attention: It gets shit done. 

How can he rebuy if the games aren't on Wii U shop?

By buying them in Wii mode. I'd have to read the article again to be 100% certain (now I am: credited my Wii shop on the Wii U with 57000 points ($570, the value of my Wii Virtual Console/Wiiware library), but I'm pretty sure they gave him the money on the vWii eshop, not the WiiU eshop.
