How many Wii U digital games have you purchased?

You have no need, but as a person with 2 3DSs, I do. 

And my content feels like it belongs more to Nintendo than me. To recover my purchases in case my console breaks or gets stolen, I have to send the console or the police notification to Nintendo, which is complete bullshit. I want to be able to access my content from any device instantly, not the horrible system they have going now where they control all your data on your consoles.

You don't need a police report for them to transfer your digital titles to a new system if yours is stolen.   They ask for it for records if you have one but it's not required.

I get your current frustration of having 2 NNID's but you can put both on a single Wii U so if something happens to either 3DS or the Wii U, each ID can still be found on another device.  Those games are tied to both a device and your NNID.  At the moment, you do need to contact Nintendo to get games transfered.  This true and indeed a pain but it can be done. 

And, as I stated before, as soon as the full transfer system is in place, all your digital games apply retroactively.   You lose nothing.

Don't negate yourself the option of digital downloads just for the off hand chance you may need to contact Nintendo to get yoru games back.  Hell, if your physical games get stolen...you have no option.  I'm not defending their current set up at all.  I'm only saying your don't need to limit yourself to physical only because of the set up.

That's true. I'm just worried about the future and whether future Nintendo devices will have multiple profiles or not.

But yeah, I still do buy digital occasionally (I bought WWHD digitally, along with a bunch of older titles like Metroid Fusion, Kirby, and the NES Mario games).
