When though? If you think about it the Wii-U's software isn't going to be rare for at least the next 10 years, at which point will Nintendo still be offering the ability to download the patch software required for them to run or will they roll out a Wii-U update towards the end of its life which removes this requirement, keep in mind that a Wii-U game must get a security patch update to align it to the System software in place on the console, if they don't like up the game isn't booting, without the PS4/X1/X360 option of declining the update and starting the game anyway.

Just that if that system is left in place on the Wii-U after Nintendo puts it to rest it will not be a system that has any retro following in the future, unless there is a retro group for Nintendo based Doorstops.

Console system software are saved on a rom chip i think, on the motherboard. There should be plenty of used consoles having the latest updates.

Also when i got my Wii U Xenoblade Bunddle and put in the XCX disc it automaticlay updated the latest system software from the disc. I could play both Project Zero and XCX with the console which was never hooked up to the internet.

Sure you can, but then once you have done this update of the Wii-U from a game disk you will need to get the updates for all of your other titles to allow them to open on that system software, so even if you had a Wii-U with the very last firmware ever, it still would not have the software updates for any of the consoles library of games unless they had been installed while the service was still up and running.
