I'm pretty sure you still have to get an official repair to transfer games, unless they recently changed that policy. 

And a Nintendo console breaking isn't fictional at all. I've personally never had a Nintendo console fail on me, but shit happens. You can never be too safe. 

I guess I just don't live in fear like others. Plus Nintendo has already stated many times they are not done with improving their account system. They now have it on 3DS and have stated it will continue to grow including allowing you to log into other hardware. Its also not like WiiU will be their last home console and they sure won't ask WiiU owners to mail in WiiUs to transfer NNID accounts.

Worst case is you'll have the transfer system similar to DS/3DS or they'll do as stated and have a online type of device control system similar to iOS/Android, etc.

And...when Nintendo releases their next console in 2-3 years, and shut the servers down, what then? Are you ok with the idea that your games are only going to work for however long your HDD or console does? Because the moment something fails, your games are gone my friend. This isn't Apple or Steam we're talking about lol.
