This doesn't seem to solve the main problem created by this system that's still in the early 2000's era of online gaming. What if my wiiU breaks? Things I bought online are still gone because it sounds like both wiiU's need to be in working condition. Which if so, doesn't that defeat the purpose completely?

You can call Nintendo and have your NNID transfered to another console if it breaks. This has been known for a long time. They're just adding a feature to let you do it yourself if you just want to upgrade to a newer model. Could mean bigger storage models are planned for the future.

It shouldn't be that big of a hassle.
